Installing MATLAB on a Client System

This section describes how to install MATLAB on a client system running Windows in a local client access configuration. See Local Client Access Configuration for information about this type of installation.

The installation procedure on a client system is almost identical to the procedure on a server; however, there are some differences. For example, in a client installation, you do not install the license manager. This table lists all the steps in the network installation procedure and notes where they are different on client systems. For more detailed information about any of the steps, go to the description of the step in Overview of Steps in Network Installation Procedure.

Basic Network Installation Procedure

Client Installation Notes

Step 1: Before You Install

You do not have to stop the license manager.

Step 2: Start the Installer

Same as on a license server.

Step 3: Enter Identification and License Information

Use the PLP that you used for your license server installation.

Step 4: Specify Location of License File

Specify the location of the License File that was processed by the installer during the license manager installation on the license server. See License File Location for more information.

Step 5: Review the Software Licensing Agreement

Same as on a license server

You can select either Typical or Custom.
Choose Custom to specify which products you want to install.

Step 7: Specify Installation Folder

Same as on a license server.

Step 8: Specify Products to Install

Step 9: Configure the License Manager Service

Not applicable on client systems

Step 10: Specify Installation Options

Same as on a license server

Step 11: Confirm Your Choices

Same as on a license server
