MATLAB - Installation Instructions

• You need to have access to the MATLAB media. The following three choices are available :
  1. DVD (this could be borrowed from the Computer Operators)
  2. On-line access (\\diva-appserv)
  3. Downloading from the Mathworks site.

  For the third option you need a Mathworks account.

• Access the Activation Key and Installation for TAH License (License number 666637) using your Raven password.
• Access your MathWorks Log in to Mathworks site

  If not create an account using the following link :

  In creating an account choose the option

  Academic use (including campus/site license)

  from the pull down menu for "How will You use the Mathworks Software".

  Create a MathWorks Account

• You can use the installation key for TAH License (License Number 666637) or the MathWorks account to start installing the MATLAB software.
• Associate Your account with the License From the License Center page at the Mathworks site go to the MY account page.

  Click Manage Licenses. On the My License Page click on Associate me with a License

  In the Associate dialog box, enter the Activation key of the TAH License.

  Choose the install option and install the software.

  Step by step instructions on Installation

  If you require any TLBXs from the Departmental (ACL) additional concurrent licenses (for example TLBXs paid for by your research group) then use the installation key for the license number 38969 and repeat the process. This should be only done after installing the basic MATLAB as part of the TAH License.

  The installation process is the same for installing both TAH and ACL products.

  The separate installation keys allows you access to the appropriate TLBXs associated with that particular license for installation.

  It is not possible to see a combined list of TLBXs for installing in a single step. It has to be done separately in two steps.

  Once installed however the licenses are accessed using the License.dat file. Both licenses have been combined and are issued by the same license server.
