MATLAB Installation Guide for PC

Licensing Architecture

In a concurrent installation, The MathWorks uses a license manager program, called FLEXlm (a product of GLOBEtrotter Software, Inc.), to control access to its software. This section describes:

• The license management daemons
• The License File format and its processing by the installer
• Important license management files

In addition, this section describes how to:

• Run multiple versions of MATLAB
• Set up a License File when MATLAB shares a license manager with other applications
• Set up redundant license servers

Throughout this section, $MATLAB refers to your MATLAB installation directory.
