MATLAB Installation Guide for Unix    

Installing Additional Products

After initial installation, you can purchase optional products that extend MATLAB and provide additional application-specific capabilities. To install these additional products:

  1. Stop MATLAB and the license manager with the lmdown command. (See License Manager Tools for information about this and other license manager commands.)
  2. You can either edit your existing License File or create a new License File.
    1. If you edit your existing License File, $MATLAB/etc/license.dat, copy the INCREMENT lines from the license e-mail you received from The MathWorks. This new License File information includes the new products you purchased as well as all the existing products for which you have licenses. Do not delete the SERVER and DAEMON lines in your license file.
    2. Create a new License File from the license e-mail you received from The MathWorks and place it in your MATLAB installation directory ($MATLAB). For more information about creating a License File, see Before You Install. If you create a new License File, you must rename your existing license file in $MATLAB/etc to get the Installer to process your new License File.
  3. Perform the installation procedure, following the instructions given on each screen. However, when the installer presents the Product Installation Options screen, remove all the products listed in the Items to Install list box except the new products you want to install.
  4. Restart the license manager with the lmstart command.

Consult the documentation that comes with your new products for any additional configuration requirements.
