CSU Fullerton's Mathematica license can be used for grid computing. If you are interested in using Mathematica for parallel computing on a dedicated cluster, or in a distributed grid environment, please contact Paul Fish at Wolfram Research.

Create Account (New Users)

If you are a new user, you must first create your Wolfram account, before you can request a license.

Step 1
