Experiencing a License Time-Out

When time-out is enabled, if you open a MATLAB session, and then leave it inactive for more than 4 hours, when you return, you will find MATLAB still open on your desktop. However, you will see the following message displayed in the Command Window:

Your MATLAB session has timed out.  All license keys have been 
returned.

The time-out is also recorded in the license manager log file, as follows:

Idle session.  Returning keys for <user>@<machine>

(For more information, see Viewing the License Manager Log File.)
