You can obtain the MAC address of a Network Interface Card, also known as the physical address of the computer, by using the ipconfig command. Access the command prompt: - In Windows 8, navigate to the Start Screen area, type ' cmd' and press Enter. In Windows Vista or Windows 7, choose the Windows logo ( Start). In the search box, type cmd and press Enter. In Windows XP, choose Start Run. In Open, type cmd. After the command prompt C: , type ipconfig /all, then press Enter.

Minitab 16 Click the Download Free Trial button above and get a 14-day, fully-functional trial of CrossOver. After you've downloaded CrossOver check out our YouTube tutorial video to the left, or visit the CrossOver Chrome OS walkthrough for specific steps.
The MAC address appears in Physical Address as a combination of 12 letters and numbers with a dash after every 2 characters. Example: 01-23-45-AB-CE-EF.
Note: If your computer has two or more MAC addresses then you need to choose the MAC address of a network card that is always enabled. To learn more, click the Knowledgebase ID 2222 link below. It's not required, but if you prefer to copy the MAC address from the command prompt before pasting it elsewhere, then follow these steps: 1.
Right-click on the MAC address and select Mark. Left-click and drag to select (highlight) the entire address, then press the Enter key. Open a new text document, such as a Notepad document.
Choose Start All Programs Accessories Notepad, then choose Edit Paste. Remove the dashes (example: 0013729A56E5) from the document. You can now copy and paste the MAC address into the MAC address field when creating a fulfillment and license file.
If a class requires Minitab, you have to use Minitab. I have heard this complaint many times, although I have personally never had an issue with it (and I wouldn't if I did have a class with Minitab, since I have XP and 7 VM's). Minitab isn't exactly the most resource intensive program in the world, so an XP VM in Parallels should be fine. If you don't have a license for XP handy, you can probably get an academic on quite cheaply. Your other option would be to use school computers in the library or a computer lab to do Minitab work, but this could really be a PITA, depending on how your school is set up. I don't think schools should be using software that isn't cross-platform, but that's another discussion entirely, since the counterargument is that Windows is pretty much ubiquitous anyways, especially given that most Mac users have to have a Windows machine or VM around for compatibility anyways.
