Using Stata on the Cluster

To use Stata on the cluster, a valid license file must be installed. This requires authorization details provided by the University’s software procurement office.

Follow the steps below to obtain and configure your Stata license.

Steps to Request a License

Go to the following page:

https://www.otago.ac.nz/its/services/software/stata
Click on the “Software Order Form” link.
In the Product field, enter “Stata”.
The ITS Software Procurement team will email you a PDF document containing your:
- Serial Number
- Code
- Authorization
Once you receive the PDF, forward it to rtis.support@otago.ac.nz.

Setting Up the License File

After you provide your Stata authorization details, the HPC team will:

Generate the Stata license file.
Install it on the cluster for your account.
Confirm when Stata is ready to use.

Once complete, you will be able to launch Stata directly from your cluster environment.

Notes

Stata will not function until a valid license file is in place.
Licenses are managed centrally to comply with University licensing terms.
If you already have a Stata license from the University, you may reuse it for cluster access—just forward the PDF with your details.
