Installation Guide for Windows

Licensing Components

Note   The information in this section pertains to network installations only. You do not need to read this section if you are performing an individual installation.

In a network installation, The MathWorks uses a license manager program, called the FLEXnet Publisher Licensing Module (a product of Macrovision Corporation), to control access to its software. This section describes the major components of the FLEXnet licensing architecture.

• License Management Daemons

• Applications

• Personal License Passwords (PLPs) and License Files

• License File Processing on a License Server

• License File Processing on Client Systems

• License File Search Path

Throughout this section, references to the matlabroot folder refer to your MATLAB installation folder.

Note   For more detailed information about FLEXnet and license management, see the FLEXnet Licensing End User Manual, available in PDF format in matlabroot\flexlm\enduser.pdf, where matlabroot is your MATLAB installation directory, as returned by the matlabroot function.
