MathWorks Installation Help

Step 6: Confirm Your Activation Information
If all the information displayed is correct, click Confirm.
To activate an installation, MathWorks creates a license file that:
• Restricts use to only the computer with the installation
• Restricts use to a particular user if you have activated an Individual License
The installer then copies this license file onto your computer. This license file enables you to run
MathWorks products on your computer. MathWorks also keeps a record of the activation in
MathWorks systems.
Step 7: Complete Activation
After activating your installation, click Finish to exit the activation process.
Step 8: What's Next?
Now that MATLAB and any accompanying products have been installed, you are ready to begin using
MathWorks software.

Activate Installation Offline
Step 1: Start Activation
Because you were not logged in to your MathWorks Account during installation, or you started the
activation application independently, you must choose whether to activate automatically or manually.
Select the Activate manually without the Internet (recommended) option and click Next.
Step 2: Specify Path to License File
To activate without an Internet connection, you must have a license file. The license file identifies
which products you can run. The administrator on the license can retrieve the license file from the
License Center at the MathWorks website. Select the Enter the full path to your license file,
including the file name option and enter the full path to your license file in the text box (or drag
and drop the file) and click Next.
If you do not have your license file, select the I do not have a license file option and click Next to
get information about how to retrieve a license file.
