Start the installer using the -inputFile option to specify the full path of your installer
properties file as a command-line argument.
For example, on Windows computers, click the Start menu and select the Run option. In the Run

Have End Users Install Products
Provide Products and Licensing Information to Clients
You may want your end users to install MathWorks software themselves, or you may want to assign
other staff to do it for you. You can choose to have the person performing the installation to download
and run the installer themselves, or you can download the installer and put it somewhere accessible
to the person doing the installation.
For this workflow, provide the person doing the installation with the following items:
• MathWorks license file — Give users a copy of the MathWorks license file that was processed
during installation of the network license manager on your server. This license file must contain
the correct SERVER line for the license server you are using. See “License Processing During
MATLAB Installation” on page 2-6.
Note Do not give users a copy of the original license file you received in the licensing email. They
cannot use the licensing information in this form — it does not include the correct SERVER line.
Also, do not forward to users the licensing email you received from MathWorks.
• Access to product files — You can download the product files and make them available on a
server that is accessible to all clients or on removable media. For these scenarios, users need a
File Installation Key to install products. See “Download Products Without Installing” on page 1-6.
If your end users have MathWorks Accounts, you can give them the Activation Key for the license
and let them log in to their accounts to install their MathWorks products.
• Installation instructions — Refer to the table in “Installation Procedures for MATLAB” on page
2-3 to provide the person performing the installation with the correct instructions, as they differ
slightly depending on whether the target computer has an Internet connection.
