DEPARTMENTAL MATLAB LICENSES

As a result the MATLAB Licenses that are available are split into two broad categories : (a) The TAH License (b) Departmental Additional Concurrent Licenses.

• TAH (Total Academic Headcount) License which includes the Basic MATLAB, Simulink and 14 other Toolboxes (TLBXs).
• Departmental ACL (Additional Concurrent Licenses) covers all other TLBXs used in the department and not covered by the TAH License (mostly paid for by various research groups).

The list of TLBXs in these two categories are mutually exclusive. Nevertheless these can be used in conjunction with each other in computers which are connected to department's network. However reserved licenses which is part of the additional concurrent departmental licences are not available for general use.

The additional concurrent licenses cannot be used on their own as it does not have the Basic MATLAB.

The TAH license forms the basis of the MATLAB usage and should be installed first on any computer. Then optionally if the Toolboxes available on the additional Departmental concurrent license are required these can be installed to supplement the Toolboxes available with the TAH License.

Windows PCs, Mac-OS, O/S Linux) connected to the Teaching System (TS) Network can access these licenses.

In general undergraduates cannot have MATLAB installed in their laptops. The only exception is the fourth year project students who can have a temporary license for their laptops (valid until 25 of March 2011).

Members of staff and postgraduates can also use the TAH license in standalone mode ie not connected to any network in their personal computers (laptops).

Undergraduates in general can only use it in computers which forms the Department's Teaching System. They can also use it on any PWF which may be available as part of the College Computing System. However they are not allowed to have MATLAB licensed by the department installed in their personal computers (desktops and laptops in college rooms and at home). Only exception is fourth year project students (see note above)

• Since all users will be able to get a Mathworks account, it should be possible to download it directly from the Mathworks site.
• If they bring the laptops to the department and connect it to the departmental network they can download it from \\diva-appserv\ (A facility set up Peter Benie).
• MATLAB CDs can be borrowed from the Computer Operators.
