MATLAB Installation Guide for PC

Concurrent License Installation Procedure

Start Here

This chapter describes how to set up a concurrent installation of the MATLAB 6 family of products for Release 12.1.

In a concurrent installation, The MathWorks uses a license manager program called FLEXlm (a product of GLOBEtrotter Software, Inc.) to control access to its products. To set up a concurrent installation, you must install the license manager as well as the MathWorks products you purchased. You use the MathWorks Installer to perform both installations.

This chapter includes information about:

• How to set up a concurrent installation. This section describes how you determine on which systems you will install the license manager and on which systems you will install the MathWorks products.
• The concurrent installation procedure

For information about starting MATLAB and other tasks you can perform after a successful installation, see After You Install.

Note    Using the installer you can set up a concurrent installation with little knowledge of license management software, even if you own other products that use FLEXlm for license management. However, if you want to integrate the MathWorks products into an already established license management scheme, you may need a more thorough understanding of product licensing. Chapter 3, License Management provides an overview of how The MathWorks uses FLEXlm. For more detailed information about licensing, read the FLEXlm End User Manual, which is included in your MATLAB installation in PDF format ($MATLAB\flexlm\enduser.pdf).
