Installing Mathematica on two PCs?

Sebastian K.
Posted 10 years ago

I need mathematica for my study of meteorlogy, so I'm going to buy the student version. Is it possible to install and use a Mathematica student edition on two PCs (notebook and desktop) with the same licence, like Adobe Creative Suite or Steam games?

I did it by updating the student and home edition to Premier service. Then, under "Benefits" you find the Use of of a second installation. I downloaded the Linux version for a second computer. Even for a second installation on a dual boot machine you need the second download and separate activation.

Of course, as expected, you have to renew the Primier service each year, For vs 13.0 Premier service was helpful because the Null version was a happening of of unexpected events. Thy gave me a special download adress to download a corrected version.

This tool will let you tell wolfram that you wiped the program from a previous computer and let you re-use the key.

Thank you for your replies.

I wrote an email to Wolfram, I hope they'll answer soon.

[@Glen Deering][at0] The problem is that the Premier Service benefits list is empty.

And if you don't see there a way to get an Activation Key for a Home license, do contact Wolfram customer service. Phone is best if you're in a position to do that. E-mail could take a couple of days.

I would go ahead and talk to Wolfram Customer Support:

They will be able to answer your questions definitively.

No, so far as I'm aware: such a license is always for one particular machine. However, you have two other options:

  1. Add Premier Service to your Student license. This entitles you also to a "home-license" copy, too.
  2. Buy instead the student version of Mathematica Online, which you can access from any computer.

For details, see: http://www.wolfram.com/mathematica/pricing/students.php

And it never hurts to verify any licensing questions you have by speaking by phone directly with a Wolfram sales representative!
