Mathematica Licence

[Favio Cassidy]

TheMathematica licence is normally already installed on all devices of the TH department.

The online site licence can be also used by visitors that need to run Mathematica on their laptop while connected at the CERN network

The site network licence is lxlicen04.cern.ch or the equivalent lxlicenwolfram01.cern.ch)

Unfortunately due to the limited number of home licences available we can offer them only to our Staff and Fellows. So if you are a Staff or Fellow member in the TH department and you need to run mathematica while you are off-line, you can ask for a Mathematica home licence that, subject to availability, can be granted to you for the period of your stay Please fill the form here and contact Elena Gianolio if you need more details

I will soon drop out of university. However, I will try to keep me busy with some research topics. For that I'll need a mathematica licence running on a single machine. I can currently buy a mathematica student version. I'm not quite sure what will happen when I drop out of university:

A correct answer to your question will require consultation with the administrator of your Mathematica license at your academic institution. Wolfram has a number of options licensing options available to academic end-users. I have experience with administering an academic site license and can provide some insights but you should speak with someone at your institution to get the correct answer.

Will I lose access to my mathematica version? Yes, eventually. Student licenses that allow the software to be installed on personal computers typically require annual renewal. The new key will be sent to your university email address. I assume you will lose access to that email address upon leaving the institution.

Is there a periodical check from Wolfram on my student status after say a year? Yes, for license options that include a home-use rider. A typical implementation is that a student creates an account on the Wolfram Portal that is linked to their institution's email address. Then the student version of the software will expire after one year, requiring the student to re-activate through the portal. As mentioned in the first question, if you cannot access the email account provided to you by your institution, you will not be able to access the activation key provided through the Wolfram Portal.

Note added in proof: As an example of licensing customization, this institution provides a decent discount allowing students to migrate their "free" student edition to a professional edition. As a license administrator, I was not able to offer this type of advantage to students at my institution.

I suggest you go with the Home version, so you can pursue your personal interests.The Home version costs a bit more (about 300 dollars), but has no time limits and when you upgrade the price is around 100 dollars. If you really discover and publish something spectacular - and you absolutely need MMA to demonstrate your results - then talk to WRI.

The student version is only valid until you are a student. This is clearly written in their website. Obviously you are not obliged to upgrade or change your license, but perhaps you will get an offer to change it to Home at some discounted price.

Everyone at Maths (DAMTP, DPMMS, Statslab - all staff, research students, undergraduate students and visitors) with an @cam.ac.uk university email address can install Mathematica on their own laptops/desktops at work and home, as we have an unlimited licence for Mathematica. If you and your computer leave Maths, permanently, then you must uninstall Mathematica (unless you're moving to another Cambridge University Department which has a licence for Mathematica).

The .dmg files are disk image files. Double-clicking them will mount them as a new Volume on your desktop. Open this and then drag the Mathematica application to your Applications folder to begin the install.

Members of the Maths departments can contact the Computing helpdesk, he...@maths.cam.ac.uk, for support regarding licences or installation. If you are a member of another department please contact your local technical support or Software Sales for support.

Mathematica (published by Wolfram) is a fully integrated environment for technical computing, combining interactive calculation (both numeric and symbolic), visualization tools, and a complete programming environment. The Mathematica notebook interface provides an interactive technical document format which combines typeset mathematical expressions, formatted text, hypertext, and graphics, as well as fully customizable buttons and palettes. Mathematica also has a communications protocol named MathLink, which allows it to communicate and share data with other programs written in C, C++, and FORTRAN.

All current users at UVA can access Mathematica for installation on their personal or university owned computers. When you leave UVA you must delete Mathematica as the license is intended to only be used by active user during their time at UVA.

Mathematica will require the user to obtain a new activation code every July directly from Wolfram to continue operation of their standalone copy. After the user has created a personal Wolfram account during their initial registration, the new activation code can be obtained through their Wolfram account during their time at UVA

Mathematica license owners can transfer their license to a new computer if their original computer gets replaced, or the motherboard on the same computer is replaced. To do this users need to request that Wolfram reset their Mathematica activation key by completing this form at Wolfram. Once the form is submitted the user should be able to reactivate their license on their new computer.

This version requires the user to be on the UVA network or use the VPN client to use Mathematica. Please refer to this page for details on Connecting Mathematica to a Network License Server

Mathematica is powerful computational software for equation solving, mathematical modelling, data processing and analysis, image manipulation and many other tasks. If you are a student or member of staff, you can download and install the software on your own computer.

The site license covers the Seattle, Bothell and Tacoma campuses. Mathematica passwords and activation keys will only be distributed to "u.washington.edu" "uw.edu" or "uwb.edu" email addresses.

UW Owned Computers:

Under this license currently registered UW students, faculty and staff are eligible to use Mathematica on University-owned equipment. It is expected that all UW owned computers that normally stay on campus will utilize the Physics run License Server: MathLM.phys.washington.edu During activation you can enter the DNS name of our server "MathLM.phys.washington.edu" and this will activate the software. NOTE: This should only be done for machines that will stay on campus. If there are technical reasons why you can not utilize the campus license server please contact mathe...@uw.edu

Faculty, Staff Home use:

Through this license UW faculty and staff only are eligible to request a free Mathematica license for their personally-owned computer under the Home-use program.

Since version 1.0 in 1988, Mathematica has steadily expanded into more and more general computational capabilities. Besides addressing nearly every field of mathematics, it provides cross-platform support for a wide range of tasks such as giving computationally interactive presentations, a multifaceted language for data integration, graphics editing, and symbolic user interface construction.

Mathematica Tutorial Collection

This collection documents the features and capabilities of Mathematica, from graphics to data analysis to programming, and can be viewed online, downloaded as a PDF, or ordered in print.

Mathematica from Wolfram Research is mathematical computation software that integrates computation into complete workflows, moving seamlessly from initial ideas to deployed individual or enterprise solutions.

Wolfram Mathematica is an computational development application and platform that offers a large range of mathematical capabilities and algorithms, heavy number crunching, specialized technical functionality, and data acquisition, processing, analysis, and visualization.

Mathematica is offered faculty, staff, and active students under a campus site license for the West Lafayette, Fort Wayne, and Northwest campuses covering academic and instructional use, and noncommercial academic research on University-owned and personally owned computers.

Purdue's agreement with Wolfram for Mathematica is initially centrally funded; however a vital portion is financed through recharge of costs to the end-users and their respective departments. For teaching and non-commercial research use only. Versions are available for Windows, Mac OS X, and Linux to those participating in the recharge. This software must be fully uninstalled from personally owned equipment when association with the University ends, status change results in ineligibility, or the department chooses not to participate in the yearly recharge.

Participants in Mathematica recharge should immediately notify itap-li...@purdue.edu when they discontinue use so that their installation can be removed from our recharge listing. Any use during the fiscal year will result in recharge. Proration of cost is not available.

Purdue IT Licensing offers limited support of this product, covering issues with software installation and licensing. Please send e-mail to itap-li...@purdue.edu with details, including the exact text of any warnings received and the steps during installation or use where the issue arises.

When ordering Mathematica licences you are required to commit to the full length of the current contract. On first ordering the price will be pro-rata until the annual renewal date on the 12th June, then you will be required to renew annually until the licence contract us up for renewal, you can only cancel licences during the contract renewal.
