As a result the MATLAB Licenses that are available are split into two broad categories : (a) The TAH License (b) Departmental Additional Concurrent Licenses.
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.
Both these licenses are served by the same license server.
both sets of licenses are accessed by the following license file in the user's computer.
File Name : license.dat
SERVER matlab-lmserv 0 1711
USE_SERVER
To distinguish between the two set of licenses the following license numbers are used :
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)

Installation and Activation Information for different categories of computers
There is no activation requird for MATLAB on networked computers. Only a license file (license.dat) is required.
The asset managers listed below will be able help with activation of the matlab licenses if users have problem activating the licenses themselves on laptops for use in standalone mode.
Contact the asset manager for your division in the first instance. When they are not available contact pc-support@eng.
The following facilities are only available to members of staff and postgraduates of the department. These are not available for undergraduates.
