 +===== Online Options =====  
 +Olin now has site-wide licenses for Wolfram Mathematica Online and Wolfram|Alpha Pro, which will last **until July 03, 2021**. To access these licenses, you must first create a WolframID. ​ Go to https://​user.wolfram.com/​ and use your Olin email to create your ID. You will need to access the email they send you to validate your Wolfram account. 
 + 
 +Once your account is created, follow these links to request access to these online services: 
 +  * Mathematica Online: https://​user.wolfram.com/​portal/​requestAK/​5c35db7a60395a3fd220fb5b325d4ce19b825da6 
 +  * Wolfram|Alpha Pro: https://​user.wolfram.com/​portal/​requestAK/​0f789745ae4d4e21e0b2dc1f584b902fe9462112 
 + 
 +Sign in with your Olin address and fill out the form.  Students pay close attention to the student status and update to  **Yes** you are a student as the default is **No**. Wolfram will then send an email  to complete your verification. **Note: it can take several minutes for the email to send.** Follow the link in the email, sign in if asked, and click **Go To Product** next to the service you're verifying. You will be taken to the product'​s website, where you will need to sign in with your Wolfram account again. Your access is now verified, and you will be able to use these services **until July 03**. 
 + 
 +You can access either service at its website: 
 +  * Mathematica Online: https://​www.wolframcloud.com/​ 
 +  * Wolfram|Alpha Pro: https://​www.wolframalpha.com/​ 
 + 
 +Mathematica Online can also be accessed from the Wolfram Cloud app on mobile devices.

 If you have an existing Mathematica installation,​ we recommend you uninstall your current version and reboot your computer prior to installing the latest version. If you have an existing Mathematica installation,​ we recommend you uninstall your current version and reboot your computer prior to installing the latest version.
  
-===== Installation ​instructions ​=====+Mathematica 12.1 is now available via the instructions ​below. ​
  
-=== Olin Dell Laptops ​===+:!: Wolfram Research has discovered a **potential security vulnerability** in Mathematica 11.1, 11.2 and 11.3 on **Linux operating systems**. Under certain circumstances,​ users of a system running these versions could execute arbitrary Wolfram Language code as root. 
 + 
 + ​Updated installers are now available in the Wolfram User Portal: 
 +http://​user.wolfram.com 
 + 
 + Site users can also address this vulnerability on their local machines by following the steps outlined here:   ​http://​support.wolfram.com/​kb/​41501

 +== Linux ==  
 + 
 +Please note: Mathematica 12.1 for Linux no longer supports 32-bit Linux. Mathematica 11.3 for Linux does support 32-bit Linux and can be installed by selecting Mathematica 11.3 for Linux instead of Mathematica 12.1 for Linux when following the instructions below.
