How to get it
Follow the instructions on the Wolfram Activation Key Request form to get Mathematica. Please note:
- You will need a Wolfram ID. If you don't have one, you'll have an opportunity to create one.
- If you're looking for a network license, select Product = "Network Mathematica for Sites (MathLM)" on the request form and enter the number of concurrent connections ("controlling processes").
Support
For technical support, browse Mathematica Support or contact Wolfram Support.
Documentation
Wolfram Alpha Pro and Wolfram System Modeler
- Wolfram Alpha Pro is the free online service which attempts to answer factual queries directly by computing the answer from externally sourced "curated data". It is based on Mathematica and automatically accesses many internet databases. Wolfram Alpha Pro is now included in CU's Wolfram license.
- Wolfram System Modeler is a modeling/workflow and simulation environment, supporting the standard Modelica model language, and fully integrated with Mathematica. System Modeler is not included in CU's license and requires an additional purchase from Wolfram by interested users.
