Important Notice on Activation
When you receive the download information from Wolfram you will receive an activation key which is a string of letters and numbers. Though this is enough to activate your copy of Mathematica, you must also register the key to your Wolfram User Portal account. This enables us to monitor who is using licences. To do this, take the activation key you used to activate Mathematica and log into your Wolfram User Portal account (https://user.wolfram.com). Then select ‘My Products and Services’ followed by ‘Add Product’. You will be prompted to enter the activation key you used to register Mathematica. Once you enter it, your licence will be registered.
