Instructions for Departments, Employees and Students
This license is open to all current University of Minnesota faculty, staff, and students.
Starting January 28, 2025 new users will use Single Sign On (SSO) to install and activate Mathematica. Users with existing Mathematica accounts will continue to use existing (non-SSO) accounts until they upgrade to a new version of Mathematica.
Sign in to Mathematica with SSO
1. Go to https://www.wolfram.com/siteinfo/
2. Enter your University of Minnesota email address and select Continue.

3. Select the product you want to install.
- For the desktop version of Mathematica, choose Mathematica Desktop.
- To access Mathematica via a browser (no installation required), choose Mathematica Online.
Wolfram|Alpha Notebook Edition and Wolfram|Alpha Pro are also available through your Wolfram account.
4. Enter your University of Minnesota email address and select Continue.

5. When prompted, sign in with your University of Minnesota Internet ID, password, and Duo two-factor authentication.
6. If you previously had a Wolfram account, enter the password for that account when prompted to link that account with your University account. Once your Wolfram account is linked to your University login ID you will no longer receive this prompt.

7. Accept the terms and conditions as they have already been reviewed by University representatives.
8. Once Mathematica is installed, launch it. You will then be prompted to choose the license you want to activate.
Concurrent Licensing for Managed Devices
Lab computers and other university-managed devices obtain Mathematica licenses through a license server. This will not be changed by the transition of individual Mathematica accounts to SSO.
