Below is information to help you get users started with Mathematica and Mathematica Student Edition quickly and easily. To view the list of products available through your site license or manage it online, visit the Wolfram User Portal. You can access your license by clicking My Site Programs and selecting your site license from the list.

If you receive physical shipments, your site kit for Mathematica contains the media needed to install Mathematica and the license manager, MathLM. If you have a Student Comprehensive Program, your site kit contains the media needed to install Mathematica Student Edition on student-owned machines.

You can also download the latest versions of all your site-licensed products from the Download Center in the Wolfram User Portal.

Below is information to help you decide which media or download file should be used for the types of licenses obtained through your Comprehensive Program.

Single-Machine License Installations

Single-machine licenses are used for standalone installations of Mathematica (those that do not connect to a license server).

Network License Installations

A network license permits a specified number of Mathematica users to run the application concurrently on a network, making Mathematica available to multiple users and machines. Mathematica system administration in a network license environment involves setting up two separate components. First, the license manager, MathLM, is installed on the license server to handle the details of license activity. Second, Mathematica is installed as a client of MathLM.

* MathLM 14.1 can be used to serve licenses to clients running Mathematica Versions 12.3 to 14.1. However, MathLM 14.0 (or before) cannot be used as a license manager for Mathematica 14.1 clients.

Distribution Basics

Below is a list of items that you should provide to System Administrators and end users to install Mathematica, Mathematica Student Edition and MathLM:

1. An Activation Key: You can assign and send activation keys to users through the Wolfram User Portal by clicking My Site Programs, selecting your site license from the list and navigating to the Assign tab in the Users & Activation Keys section
2. Installation Media or Files: When you assign activation keys to users through the Wolfram User Portal, the users are sent a link to download the installation files from Wolfram Research. See Installing Mathematica for detailed file information.

Distribution Options

• Download from Wolfram Research (RECOMMENDED): Users who are assigned an activation key will be sent a link to download the installation files from the Wolfram User Portal.
• Physical Distribution: Physical media may be distributed directly to users. ISO/DMG files are available in the Wolfram Product Download Center to burn additional DVDs/CDs.
• Set Up a Download Site: Post the installers on a local server and allow System Administrators and/or end users to log in to the site to download the installation files and install on their own machines.
• Local File Server Installation: Allow users to run the installer remotely off your file server to install on a local machine.
• Remote Installation: Allow System Administrators to connect to a remote client from a file server and run the installer on the remote machine.
