You can now download and install Mathematica in
your own PC / laptop for free. USM has now a campus-wide Mathematica license.
Click here
(password required to unzip the file) to download the Mathematica installation
file (~ 1 GB). It is suggested that you download version 11.x.x. But you can
download other versions if you like.

To complete the installation of Mathematica in
your own PC/laptop, you will need to obtain an activation key from Wolfram, the
company that sell Mathematica to USM. To this end you have to go through some
online procedures before they send you the passwords and license. Please follow
the online instruction here.
The most essential information you need to supply is your USM student email
account. Wolfram will not entertain your request if you do not supply them with
an USM email account (e.g., tlyoon@student.usm.my).
