Stata 17 Portable Here

StataCorp (now part of the Stata family of companies) does not release an official portable version of Stata 17. Stata requires a valid license and typically involves a standard installation process that writes to the system registry and creates start menu entries.

Gray area. The Stata EULA explicitly prohibits running the software from a network drive or removable media unless permitted by your license type. Most standalone licenses forbid this. stata 17 portable
