MATLAB Installation Guide for Unix

License Management

Overview

Using the MathWorks Product installer, and following the instructions in Chapter 1, Installing Release 12 on UNIX Workstations you can set up an installation with little knowledge of license management. However, if you want to integrate MATLAB into an existing license management scheme, you may require a more thorough understanding of using the FLEXlm license manager.

This chapter:

• Provides an overview of The MathWorks product licensing, including information about the primary licensing components, files and environment variables.
• Describes how to perform common license management tasks, including monitoring license activity.

For more detailed information about FLEXlm and license management, see the FLEXlm End User Manual, available in PDF form in the $MATLAB/etc directory, where $MATLAB represents the name of your installation directory.
