Depending on your request, please have ready, or include in your e-mail or fax, these items:

Your License Number.
If you have not previously installed MATLAB at your site, you can find your License Number on the upper-right corner of the packing slip.
If you have a previous version of MATLAB running at your site, you can obtain your License Number by entering the license command or the ver command at the MATLAB command prompt.
Your e-mail address.
The host ID of the server on which you intend to run the license manager (network installations only). To learn how to get a host ID, see Finding the Host ID on a Windows System.

Finding the Host ID on a Windows System

For network installations, you need to supply the host ID of the server on which you intend to run the license manager. On PCs running the Windows operating system, you can use the Ethernet address (Physical Address) or the IP address as the host ID. If you use the Ethernet address remove the dashes (-).

To get this information, open a command prompt window and run the ipconfig command.

ipconfig /all

Note Be sure to get the host ID of the system on which you plan to run the license manager, not the host ID of a client workstation.
