Mathematica

Mathematica is freely available to all University-owned machines. On our UMIACS-supported Linux hosts, Mathematica is already available in the following locations:

• RHEL5: /opt/stow/mathematica9/bin/mathematica
• RHEL6/Ubuntu: /opt/common/mathematica9/bin/mathematica

For UMIACS-supported Windows machines, or other self-supported University-owned equipment, please contact Staff

Activation

There is no automated way to activate Mathematica across our domain. As a result, each computer will have to be registered once against our hosted license server. Any user can go through this process, and it should persist until the host is reinstalled.

• Upon being prompted, click "Other ways to activate" in the bottom row:Mathematica 9 Activation Screen 1

  
  

• Click "Connect to a network license server":
  Mathematica 9 Activation Screen 2
  
  
• Enter "licserv.umiacs.umd.edu" as the license server. Click "Activate":
  Mathematica 9 Activation Screen 3
  
  
• Accept the terms, and click ok:
  Mathematica 9 Activation Screen 4
• Mathematica should now be activated for that machine.
