    Matlab Installation Notes


    License Restrictions
    The University holds a Total Academic Headcount license. This covers Matlab,
    Simulink and 50 of the most popular toolboxes. The software can be installed on
    Windows, Apple MAC OS X and Linux.
    Staff, Post-Graduates and Students and are licensed to have this software installed on
    any personal machine that they own.
    It is your responsibility to ensure that the software is removed when you leave
    and are no longer a member of the University
    If you have a University UDE machine (named UOS- or ISS-), Matlab should
    appear on your start menu in the Numerical Modelling Group. If this does not
    appear please contact ServiceLine. These instructions should not be used to install
    a standalone copy on a UOS/ISS- machine.
    The media can also be obtained direct from Mathworks, http://www.mathworks.com.
    You will need a valid login account with Mathworks, notes on how to create one can
    be found on the next Section.
    The screenshots shown were taken from an install of Matlab 2013b on Windows 7.
    The process is exactly the same for other versions of Matlab and Operating Systems.
    Should you have any questions or problems please contact the University Serviceline

    Re-Licensing Matlab.
    The license for Matlab that you have installed is valid for one year. The University
    will renew the license automatically if the software is still required.
    This process should only be performed on machines that have a standalone license.
    If you are using a copy of Matlab which connects to a license server, iSolutions will
    update the central license server.
    When the license is due to expire, you will receive warning messages. The license can
    easily be updated from within Matlab.

    Ensure that you are connected to the internet, and that you have administrator
    rights to the machine.

    From the help menu, choose Licensing -> Update Current License.

    A list of licenses for your machine will be displayed. Choose the Total
    Academic Headcount Campus TAH Designated Computer option

    Click the Update button. Confirm that you wish to override the present
    license file. If there is a newer license on the system, it will be updated on
    your machine.

    Matlab will then need to be restarted to pick up the changes made to the
    license file.

    Should you get any problems with this process please contact Serviceline on ex
    25656.
