What is Prism's Viewer Mode?

Prism Viewer Mode is a free version of Prism that allows you to open and view any file created by GraphPad Prism (Windows or Mac).

Where can I get Prism Viewer?

Prism Viewer is included with the Prism installer and full application. These instructions apply to Prism 10 or later.

How to get started:

If your Prism installation is activated with a paid or trial license, you can switch it to Viewer mode by clicking in the Help icon in the toolbar, selecting "Manage License" and the "Deactivate" option.

Prism will also automatically switch to Viewer mode when your license expires. It can be restored to full functionality without needing reinstallation once your license is renewed or a new license is activated.
