Tufts recently(summer 2012) upgraded its it's license to the Unlimited Program.
One There are several benefits of this program. Use of Mathematica on the research cluster will allow for the use of hundreds of cores for tasks requiring more computing power than available on laptops and desktops. An upgrade of the current cluster license to the unlimited license is planned for Fall 2012. Another benefit of this program allows for Tufts' participation in the vendor Home Use Program. Full-time Tufts faculty, research staff and students may obtain access to a stand-alone copy for personal use. Under this program, this is a transaction between the participant and the vendor. The vendor supplied individual password and media expire in conjunction with the Tufts license each year on March 31st. As part of the license, it is up to the participant to contact Mathematica to receive an updated password. Note, this is not automatic. If no action is taken, your license expires. In addition, upgrades are included, but you will need to request those as well via the vendor website. The following license id is needed to register: L2806-0850
