Mathematica Academic Unlimited Site License

Faculty, staff and students that belong to the above mentioned institutes are eligible to install Mathematica and Wolfram Lightweight Grid Manager free of charge on their PCs using Windows, Linux or Mac.

Installation requires an activation key and installation program. Get it from the Wolfram User Portal (“Get Activation Key” link below). If you have already registered on the user portal, please enter your username and password. If you have not yet registered, please register and request an activation key and installation program. When requesting, please register an email address with the domain @u.tsukuba.ac.jp or @un.tsukuba.ac.jp. You cannot register with any other email address. An activation key will be sent to the registered address by email immediately.

A link to download the installation program will be provided with the key. However, you must be a registered user of the Wolfram User Portal in order to download the installation program. Once registered, you will be able to view your key, download the installation program, and manage your Premier Service(Japanese text only) privileges. Single-machine and network licenses use the same installation program.

If a single-machine license is inconvenient, such as for a large system or a net-boot system, please contact the person in charge below for the installation program and password for the lab version.
