Your MachineID is a unique identification code for your computer used to tie your license information to your specific machine.

To generate the MachineID associated with your machine, you need to have the Wolfram application installed.

Finding Your MachineID Before or While Activating Your Wolfram Product

The MachineID can be displayed while activating your Wolfram product.

  1. Start the Wolfram application on your machine.
  2. Select “Other ways to activate”.
  3. Select “Activate offline through an activation key and requested password”.
    The MachineID appears in the last line of the paragraph beginning with “Step 1”.
