6. Mathematica Professional Use statement
1. SUNY license numbers
(a) For all campus-owned machines use: [license number given to license manager]
(b) For student owned machines use student license number included in shipment.
2.Campus Owned Machines:
The following CDs need to be used for campus-owned machines:
1. For Window, Mac and Linux machines:
Use the Mathematica 5.2 for Windows, Mac, Linux (*Silver CD). The campus
password used with this CD is below. The Silver CD can be used on stand-alone
or networked machines. If you choose to network the Silver CD, you can do so
with MathLM or some other network monitoring software like KeyServer or
FlexLM. Networking Mathematica with some other type of monitoring software,
although allowable, is not supported by Wolfram.
2. MathLM CD –
Wolfram’s proprietary Mathematica License Manager used with Windows, Mac,
Linux and UNIX (*Black CD)
For Network and Single Machine:
3. Windows, Mac, Linux (*Black CD) Password needs to be obtained through Wolfram for each installation
4. UNIX (*Black CD) Password needs to be obtained through Wolfram for each installation
(*For campuses who received the white CD copies and, therefore, not able to see which
ones were silver or black, the Silver CD would be the Mathematica 5 for Windows, Mac, and
Linux which does not say “for network and single machine.” The Black CDs would be the
other three. Also, the words “Black” or “Silver” are noted on the label.)
(b) Passwords:
1.For #1 CD above, your campus passwords are
Windows: [password given to license manager]
Macintosh: [password given to license manager]
Linux: You need to contact http://register.wolfram.com to obtain a password. You’ll need
the MathID of the machine (the MathID number is the value of $MachineID from within
Mathematica) and SUNY license number.
Organization name needed during the install is SUNY.
Passwords expire 10/31/07
2.For #2-4 above, using the license number for a campus owned machine, go to
http://register.wolfram.com to request new passwords, which will be emailed to the person
requesting password and ITEC Mathematica support. The “campus email address” of
person requesting password must be used for authentication purposes.
3. Student Owned Machines:
(a) There is one CD for students: Mathematica 5.2 for Windows, Mac, Linux for Students
Each student, who receives a copy of the Mathematica CD, must sign the Mathematica
Professional Use Statement a sample of which is located on last page.
(b) passwords
During installation, a dialog box will open requesting the student license number (see I.b above).
The student would then go to http://register.wolfram.com to register, submit their MathID*
number (everything for the students is machine-specific passwords) and request a password.
The password will be returned to the student and a copy emailed to the campus Mathematica
license manager using the email address sent to the ITEC Mathematica support team.
*For Macintosh and Windows versions of Mathematica, the MathID number can be found in the
dialog box viewed upon installation. (The top of this dialog box says, “Please personalize your
copy of Mathematica.”) You may also retrieve a MathID number as the value of $MachineID
from within Mathematica. For UNIX versions please refer to your “Getting Started with
Mathematica” guide.
4. Faculty Home Use:
To facilitate the process for faculty and staff requesting a Mathematica home-use license,
Wolfram Research has created a Home-Use License Request Form, which is available online
at: http://www.wolfram.com/solutions/highered/homeuse.cgi. The only information the
Mathematica campus license manager and technical coordinator will need to provide
faculty/staff is the Mathematica site license number (see 1.SUNY License Numbers).
Faculty and staff can also use this form to request an upgrade or renewal for an existing
faculty/staff home-use license. Please note that this form should not be used for student homeuse license requests.
When a request is received, Wolfram verifies that the applicant is a current faculty/staff member
of your organization and in a department that is covered by your license program. Please let
scacad@itec.mail.suny.edu know if you would like to approve all home-use license requests
before the license is shipped so Wolfram can make sure they handle these requests
appropriately.
Each individual approved for a home-use license is issued a unique license number and sent a
CD-ROM containing a single-machine version of Mathematica for the platform requested. Each
home-use license expires annually in conjunction with your organization's campus license.
Upgrades are free as they are released, but each home-use license holder must request them
from Wolfram Research by filling out this form. Certain restrictions of use apply, so please refer
to your organization's home-use license agreement for details.
5. webMathematica
WebMathematica licenses are on a “per request” basis so the software will not be included in
the shipment of CDs. When it is requested by the campus (request must be made using ITEC’s
Remedy Helpdesk), the campus will need to keep Wolfram informed (instructions on how to do
this will be provided) of the URL of any website(s) using webMathematica, together with contact
information for an individual responsible for the website(s). Any campus responsible for a
website that does not conform to these terms may lose its right to use webMathematica.
1) the person responsible for the license
2) contract information of #1
3) the url’s of pages made to use in conjunction with webMathematica
For further information on the use of webMathematica, see the “Mathematica Summary of User
Terms” document.
