Step 4. Select License File The license file is required for installation when you use a File Installation Key. It identifies which
products you can run. The administrator of the license can retrieve the File Installation Key and the
license file by going to the License Center on the MathWorks website (if you are using a trial license,
go to https://www.mathworks.com/licensecenter/trials). Download and save these items on removable
storage (for example, a USB stick) and copy them to the target computer.
• The file must be a valid license file.
• If the installer detects that the license file is invalid for any reason, use a different license file or
get a new license file from your administrator or download one from the License Center. If you are
using a trial license, go to https://www.mathworks.com/licensecenter/trials.
Step 5. Select Destination Folder The destination folder is where you want to install MathWorks products. Accept the default
installation folder, or click Browse to select a different one. If the folder does not exist, the installer
creates it.
The destination folder must be on an absolute path. MathWorks recommends that you install
MathWorks products in their own folder. If you select the top-level drive, you will be asked to confirm
your selections.
When specifying a folder name:
• You can use any alphanumeric character and some special characters, such as underscores.
• You cannot use non-English characters.
• Folder names cannot contain invalid characters and the destination cannot be named “private.”
If you make a mistake while entering a folder name and want to start over, click Restore Default.
Step 6. Select Products The Product Selection list shows all the products associated with the File Installation Key you
specified.
• To install a particular product, check the box next to its name. MATLAB is selected by default.
• If you do not want to install a particular product, clear the check box next to its name.
• If any of your selected products have a dependency on a product that was not selected, you will
get a Product Dependencies warning and you will be asked to add the dependent products.
