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

• Software downloads are in MyPhys

For students, the Institute of Technology makes Mathematica available to its students and those in other colleges that pay the IT Technology Fee. More information is available at www.itlabs.umn.edu

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

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

If you are using a computer on the Tate Lab network, the easiest thing to do is enter the name of our license server, instead of obtaining a password. The name of our license server is mathlm.spa.umn.edu

If you are using a laptop or other system which may not have network connectivity within Tate Lab, you will need to obtain a password from Wolfram. Complete Wolfram's registration form on the web at http://register.wolfram.com/ using the license code and organization name provided in the software downloads area. You should (after some time) receive a license code by email.

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.
