Mathematica 11.0.0 for Linux

Questions
1

Hello everybody,

I work on a PC with Mathematica 10.1 installed on it and with Windows 7 as the operational system. I want to connect to a remote HPC with Linux as the operational system, on which Mathematica 11.0 is installed. When I tried to run a Mathemattica 10.1 file in such a way (with the connection to HPC), i received the following output:

Mathematica 11.0.0 for Linux x86 (64-bit)

The installation on Linux isn’t activated.

If you get your copy of Mathematica thru your university or company. I would talk to them about getting a license for that installation.

If you get your copy of Mathematica directly from Wolfram Research, I would contact Wolfram Customer Support.

Thank you for your reply. I get my copy of Mathematica thru my university. Do you mean that I have to download Mathematica 11.0 on my PC and activate it?

No, the existing installation of Mathematica 11.0 on the remote Linux machine needs to be activated. If there’s someone specifically in charge of administration and software installation / licensing for the HPC at your university, that’s the person to ask about this.
