If you purchased legally but cannot find your key, do not panic. Do not search for a random key online. Instead:

  2. Check the official license portal – Go to the MathType website, click on "My Account," and log in with the email you used for purchase. All your registered keys are stored there.
  3. Contact official support – MathType support (support@mathtype.com) can retrieve your key if you provide proof of purchase (order number, email, last 4 digits of credit card).
  4. Check your old hard drive – If you still have the original installation folder, sometimes the key is stored in a license.txt file or registry entry (Windows: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Design Science\MathType\7.0\License).
