    Mathematica from Wolfram Research

    Wolfram Research releases Mathematica Player Pro (April 2008)
    The professional platform for running interactive Mathematica applications and documents. Used either as a personal tool or as a high-level engine built in by application developers, Player Pro provides the power of Mathematica for a fraction of the cost.

    Player Pro as an application delivery system
    Player Pro is a single runtime yet it supports the functionality of Mathematica, giving users easy and cost-effective access to your Mathematica applications. And you can choose whether you want to bundle Player Pro to make a stand-alone application or deliver tools to an existing Player Pro user.

    Player Pro as a personal tool
    Interact with reports, applets, and documents from your colleagues without investing in Mathematica. If it's dynamic in Mathematica, it's dynamic in Player Pro.
