Installation Procedures for Network License Manager
It is a good practice to install the network license manager before installing MATLAB. Doing so
makes it easier to verify your MATLAB installations, because you can confirm the client computers
are accessing the license server correctly at the time of installation.
Select one of the following installation procedures for the network license manager:
• “Install Network License Manager Using Internet Connection” on page 3-5 for online
installation
• “Install Network License Manager Offline” on page 3-2 for offline installation
After you have installed the network license manager, select a procedure for installing MATLAB.
Caution Follow these recommendations when planning your network installation:
• Do not expose the commands to run the network license manager to the Internet or an untrusted
network.
• Start the network license manager so that local administrator access is required to run the
shutdown procedure. .
Installation Procedures for MATLAB
To install MATLAB on end-user computers, you must be an administrator for the licenses that you
want to install. The person performing the installation must have a MathWorks Account and the
license (or licenses) must be linked to that account.
To determine whether you are an administrator for one or more licenses:
1
Sign in to your MathWorks Account.
