Starting Grapher
To begin a Grapher session start Grapher from the Grapher desktop icon or from the Windows Start menu.
If this is the first time that you have started Grapher, you will be prompted to license Grapher. Grapher has a variety of licensing options, such as Single-User product keys and site-wide licenses. If you have a Single-User product key, your product key is located in the download instructions email. You can also access your product key at your Golden Software My Account page. If you need to license Grapher from a license server, select a license server and follow the required steps.
If you are not sure of your licensing arrangement or need assistance, do not hesitate to reach out for free support on our website or with our technical support staff:
- Knowledge Base articles (search for licensing)

The next step to begin the tutorial is to open a new plot window. If you have already been working with
Grapher, click the File | New
| Plot command, click the 
button on the Quick Access Toolbar, or press CTRL+N on the keyboard. If you see the Welcome to Grapher dialog, select the Plot command underneath the New section on the left side of that dialog.
