Mathematica – Renewal of License

The annual license for Mathematica has been renewed for another year – until September 15, 2015.  You may download the latest version from the Wolfram portal in the Download Center [http://user.wolfram.com].  Existing users whose activation keys are marked as “auto renew” will not need to do anything.

STATA – Site License – Faculty, Staff & Labs

The 5 campuses have jointly subscribed to a site license for STATA – a data analysis and statistical software application.  To obtain a copy of the software, please send an email to software@umb.edu.  The license allows us to install the software on faculty, staff and lab computers [university owned].  For students, there is a “student” version which you can purchase from STATA.

 SPSS – Student / Home User version

We have purchased a limited number of licenses for student and home use of this predictive analytics statistics software.  The cost for this license is $40.  To obtain a license please send an email to software@umb.edu and mention that you are looking to purchase the ‘Student’ version.  If there are groups of students or a class needing access to SPSS, please  let us know as we can arrange to place an order for a block of 20 or 40 licenses – the cost per license will remain the same.
