Licensed Math Software
Certain software of interest to mathematicians must be licensed to use. For office machines and laptops assigned to a single user, you do the licensing yourself (see below). For shared lab machines (and shared multi-student grad office machines), we handle the licensing.
AIMMS
(On-campus or limited Student version)
There is neither a university-wide nor a department license. This software must be licensed on an individual basis. Please consult with us before making a purchase.
COMSOL
There is neither a university-wide nor a department license. This software must be licensed on an individual basis. Please consult with us before making a purchase.
Magma
(Locked to individual Computers)
This software is installed on chaos machines and can furthermore (through a Simons Foundation grant) be installed on additional machines but requires per-machine licensing that must be handled by the department system administrators. The version on chaos machines has the following optional libraries installed: AlgBas, Anf, Atlas, ECLarge, Graphs, K3S, qm.
Maple
(Individual activation or Network License)
There is a campus-wide license. You can download the software, and obtain a license activation code, by going to TigerWare.
Mathematica
(Individual activation or Network License)
There is a campus-wide license. You can download the software, and obtain a license activation code, by going to TigerWare. For office machines and home machines, please manage your own activation. But for lab machines and shared multi-person grad office machines, please contact us to manage the activation.
MATLAB
(on-campus network license only)
There is a department-wide license for a certain number of floating seats, meaning a certain number of persons can be running the software simultaneously. If you launch MATLAB and are told there is a licensing problem, please let us know.
Note that MathWorks sells a time-limited student version specifically for use in coursework, at a relatively low cost. Check the MathWorks website for current pricing and time limitations.
