Home Use Program
Student Home Use
A student copy of Mathematica for home use can be downloaded directly from the Wolfram User Portal, after a Wolfram ID is created.
To create a Wolfram ID:
- Go to the Wolfram User Portal and click "Create Account"
- Fill out form using your student (....@student.wpunj.edu) email address, and click "Create Wolfram ID"
- Check your email and click the link to validate your Wolfram ID
To request the Mathematica download and key:
- Fill out the Wolfram Activation Key Request Form
- Click the "Product Summary page" link to access your license
- Click "Get Downloads" and select "Download" next to your platform
- Run the installer on your machine, and enter Activation Key at prompt
Faculty/Staff Home Use
To request a Home Use license for Wolfram Mathematica, WPU Faculty and Staff must complete a request form and submit it directly to Wolfram.
- Access the Site Home-Use Mathematica License Request Form
- The "Site Activation Key" field will already be filled. Expand image below to see an example.
- The radio button should already be filled in for "a New home-use license." under the question "What are you requesting?"
- Click "Continue"
- Complete the License Request Form and Read the User Agreement. NOTE: The method of delivery for WPU is "Download: Send it to me at the email address I specify (you will be asked for your email address later)"
- Fill out the required fields for Contact Information, Work Address and Home Address.
- For Proof of Eligibility, please select the first option "My status can be verified via our online staff directory at the following URL:" and copy the URL to our WPUNJ Faculty and Staff Directory:
