Mathematica 6

Installation Instructions for Student Owned Machines:

(a) There is one CD for students: Mathematica 6, obtain the version for your OS - Windows, Mac, Linux.

Each student, who receives a copy of the Mathematica CD, must sign the Mathematica Professional Use Statement when he/she picks up the CD at the Help Desk.

(b) passwords

At the end of the installation, a dialog box will appear saying,

"A valid license and password are required to use Mathematica. Click Finish to launch Mathematica, and enter your password, and register."

The student should select "Enter license information now ", and input the Organization ("SUNY") and License Number ("L3009-1144"). The student is then directed to http://register.wolfram.com to register, submit their MathID* number (everything for the students is machine-specific passwords), and request a password. The password will be returned to the student and a copy emailed to the campus Mathematica license manager.

* For Macintosh and Windows versions of Mathematica, the MathID number can be found in the dialog box viewed at the end of the installation. (The top of this dialog box says, "Personalize Mathematica.") You may also retrieve a MathID number as the value of $MachineID from within Mathematica. For UNIX versions please refer to your "Getting Started with Mathematica" guide.
