Mathematica single-user license
Requirements
- You will need an email address that ends in @physik.fu-berlin.de since this is used as proof that you are eligible to obtain a Mathematica license.
Installation media
There are several ways to get the installer for Mathematica:
- burn yourself a Mathematica DVD using one of the dvd-burners in the pc-pool
- download an installer or an iso image from https://software.physik.fu-berlin.de (use your ZEDAT login/password to log in)
- pick up a Mathematica DVD from the IT-Service for a fee of 5 EUR
- download the necessary software from Wolfram Research (Wolfram ID needed)
Once you have installed Mathematica it will ask you for an Activation Key upon first start:
Activation
In order to get an Activation Key you need to use the Wolfram Activation Key Request Form. The URL differs for students and faculty members:
You only have to create a Wolfram ID if you want to download Mathematica installation media directly from Wolfram Research. Otherwise you will be fine with the Continue without signing in… option:
Always use the Single machine option, as Network won't work.
The form for faculty members contains an option for Network licenses.
You will receive an email that looks like this:
