MATLAB Installation Guide for PC

Product Licensing

When you purchase products with an individual license, The MathWorks sends you a Personal License Password (PLP) by e-mail or fax. Your PLP identifies the products that you are licensed to install. A PLP is a series of five-digit numbers, prefixed with a two-digit release code, such as,

12-12345-12345-12345-12345-12345...

Obtaining Your Personal License Password

If you did not receive your PLP, you can obtain one during the installation procedure by clicking on the Get my PLP button on the Personal License Password dialog box. To get your PLP this way, you must have an Internet connection and your MATLAB Access number.

You can also obtain your PLP by contacting The MathWorks via:

• The Web at www.mathworks.com/mla. Log in to MATLAB Access using your last name and Access number. MATLAB Access membership is free of charge and available to all customers. The MathWorks enrolls the primary contact on each license automatically in MATLAB Access and sends the contact an Access number sent via e-mail.
• E-mail at service@mathworks.com.
• Telephone at 508-647-7000; ask for Customer Service.
• Fax at 508-647-7001.

Customers outside North America should contact their local distributor.

When you request a PLP, 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-hand corner of the packing slip. Customers outside North America can obtain license information from their local distributor.

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.
