Use one Mathematica 'Personal License Service' for two computers?

Posted 8 years ago

I am interested in Mathematica. So I will purchase the Mathematica License that contains 'the Personal License Service'. I know that 'the Personal License Service' allow me to install my license on a second personal computer. If so, can I use one license in two computers?

Thanks Neil,

I wasn't aware of the Network license. It may have been mentioned when I first purchased Mathematica, several years ago now. But if the cost was hugely inflated, which is usually the case with network licenses, I would have moved on fairly quickly. I will, however, ask my sales rep when I next speak to him.

I agree that Wolfram can be accommodating, so maybe there could be some flexibility on a case-by-case basis in the way licenses are managed. However, I'd much prefer to see more flexible arrangements in place across the board. Something along the lines of the AutoCad model, which I mentioned earlier in this discussion, would be ideal as this works really well and doesn't lock down the software to just one or two computers.

All the best,

Ian

This is because the license is not the same thing as the activation code. You'll need a different activation code for your second installation. Contact Wolfram Support at http://www.wolfram.com/support/contact/email/ and they'll sort it out for you.

I understand it. Thank you for your reply!

Each activation key only works on one machine. If you have questions about the capabilities of your specific license I'd email customer support using this form: http://www.wolfram.com/support/contact/email/

Thank you for your reply. I purchased the Mathematica Student Edition(Personal License Service). I used my license in the first computer. and then I tried to use it in the Second computer.
But, I saw below picture. What is the problem? enter image description here

With the Mathematica Home Edition and Personal License Service you should be able to run MMA on two different computers.
