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 for both students and faculty. 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
(Individual activation or Network License)
There is a campus-wide license for both students and faculty. The software must be downloaded directly from MathWorks. When signing up for a MathWorks account, use your @lsu.edu e-mail address which will associate you with LSU.
