Social Sciences Computing Services is currently keyserving the Economics Department's license of Scientific Word 3.0. We had hoped to upgrade to Scientific Word 3.5 and still serve the licenses centrally, but the vendor was unable to fulfill a critical systems requirement.

Many people have their own copies of Scientific Word and will not be affected by this change. If you have been using the keyserved versions of Scientific Word in the past, or are looking to use it in the future, the following instructions will need to be followed:

Current keyserved users of Scientific Word 3.0:

  1. Click on "Start" menu and select "Programs" -> "KeyServer Client" -> "KeyAccess"
  2. Change the current value in the "Connection: TCP/IP (Windows Sockets)" box to:
    ssd-keyserver.uchicago.edu
  3. Close the "KeyAccess Setup" Window by clicking on the X in the upper right-hand corner of the window.
    1. For new or future users:
