Am I eligible for Mathematica Student Edition?

Mathematica Student Edition is available to part-time or full-time primary and secondary students and students working toward an associate's, bachelor's, master's, doctoral or equivalent degree at an accredited educational institution or approved homeschool location. It is also available to part-time, non-degree-seeking students if required for a class. Mathematica Student Edition may only be installed on the student's own personal computer, and registered to the student.

Proof of enrollment is required.

I am not a student. Can I buy a Student Edition license for a student?

Yes. A single Mathematica Student Edition license can be gifted to a student by an individual (friend/family). At the time of purchase, they must provide the name and email address of the student owner, and provide valid proof of student status for that student. The license will be registered to the student, and installed on their personal machine. All communication will be sent directly to the student, who owns the rights to the license. Since you are not the student, you do not own this license and cannot be the registered user. It cannot be gifted by an organization, except with prior written approval from Wolfram Research.

How do I prove my student status?

You can verify your student status using any of the following methods:

• Provide a URL from your institution's public webpage or web directory that proves your student status
• Attach or send a copy of your dated student ID, registration receipt, class schedule, school bill or state-issued homeschool program registration by email, mail or fax

You'll be able to submit your proof of student status when you purchase your product, or send the information later. You will be given temporary access to Mathematica until your student status has been verified. Once your status is verified, your access will be extended.

For questions about student status, or to submit hard copies of student verification materials, contact us.

Can I install my license on multiple machines?

Each single-machine Mathematica license may only be installed on a single machine. However, adding a service plan to your license provides you with a second personal-use license to install on another personally owned machine or dual boot system, which you can use for as long as your service plan is active.

Mathematica | Online is a single-user license, and doesn't require a local installation—so you can sign in from anywhere and on any internet-enabled computer or mobile device through a web browser or the Wolfram Cloud app. The software licensing restricts you from accessing the product from more than one machine at a time. If you want to access Mathematica | Online from multiple machines simultaneously, please purchase multiple subscriptions.
