The department has a license for Mathematica which allows us to run it on any University-owned (departmental or research group) system. It's is available for Windows, Macintosh, Linux, and several UNIX platforms. The license does not extend to home or other personally-owned systems.

License Code and correct Organization Name can be found in the [[http://www.physics.umn.edu/resources/computing/download/mathematica.html|software downloads area]].

This web page contains only outlines for how to access the installation packages on our network and how to obtain license codes. For full information, you should consult the complete installation directions at the Wolfram Documentation Web Site.

You can obtain Mathematica from the software download area. ISO images (for burning to CD) are provided for Unix and Windows, while a self-mounting CD image is provided for Macintosh.

After installing, you will have to personalize your copy of Mathematica by obtaining and entering a password.

Alternatively, for systems within Tate Lab, you can enter the name of our license server rather than obtaining a password. Our license server is named “mathlm.spa.umn.edu”.

To receive a password for your installation of Mathematica, complete the registration form on the web at

http://register.wolfram.com/, using the license code provided in the software downloads area.

Either run the Mathematica installer - the licensing setup routine will provide the MathID for you.

or…

Run Mathematica and type “$MachineID” (shift-Enter).

If your license has already expired, you may need to set your computer clock back in order to run this command.
