Mathematica is currently installed in many labs across campus. The site license currently provides access to Mathematica, Network Mathematica, webMathematica Amateur and Wolfram Workbench. Network licenses are available for use on UTD owned computers on the UTD network.

Mathematica can be installed on:

  • Faculty/staff personally-owned machines: Installers are available here (call x 2911 for the necessary code).
  • Students’ personally-owned machines: a student version can be purchased from the UTD Techstore for $30.00

For non-networked (or sometimes networked – a laptop perhaps) UTD owned systems, there is a local machine license. Standalone licensed systems will need to have their license codes updated yearly. Network licensed systems do not need to worry, as IR will renew the license on the license server yearly.

There is a knowledge base available for quick reference.
