Since Version 14.0 the default way to activate your Wolfram product is by signing in with your Wolfram or organization credentials. Activation keys are only needed for alternate activation methods.

If you received a copy of our software from your organization, please contact your Site Administrator or software distributor to get your activation keys.

If you purchased your product through the Wolfram Store, your activation keys will be sent to you via email at the time you check out. The number of activation keys you receive depends on your product license.

If you received your software directly from Wolfram Research and have registered it, your activation keys are available in your Wolfram Account or in the Wolfram User Portal. If you have problems accessing either website, contact Wolfram Customer Support.

Finally, if your product is installed and you can start it, you can find your activation key in the product itself or in an open notebook.
