I installed MLwiN on my school device and run -runmlwin- command with the example data as a test. But an error box pop up saying the "data imported is not available in teaching version". The code went OK when I ran it on my laptop, and the install file is the same one. My Stata version is StataSE 15.0 with the license of my uni.
The Stata code I used is as below (after installation)
Thanks a lot for the explanation. I am a PhD student in University of Reading, so I guess I should be eligible for the free version?
When I previously requested the file and installed on my laptop, it shows as "normal version" and all the codes work. I used the same installation file for my school device (as my school device got StataSE) and set it up, it turns out to be a "teaching version". The only different I can think about is, I asked IT support to install it for me as I do not have the authority to install programme -- would MLwiN automatically change into teaching version under certain condition?
Anyway, if my setup file turn out to be the wrong one, can I request for a "correct" copy, either free or with payment?
Yes, you should be eligible to apply for the free version. The full and teaching versions have different installation files so the software cannot change from one version to another, perhaps your IT support downloaded the teaching version as this is available without entering any user details? As long as you are previously registered you can request the full version by completing the form at https://www.cmm.bristol.ac.uk/clients/softwaredownload/.
