Matlab licence key free R2013a4/17/2024 ![]() ![]() The steps outlined here are similar for other releases of MATLAB and will be the same across Linux and Mac. The topic of updating your license comes up when your school renews its Campus-Wide License and you see a message like this one on the screen when opening MATLAB.įor this demonstration I am using the MATLAB R2020a release on Windows. Today, I will walk you through the steps needed to update your Campus-Wide License for the upcoming year. Mathworks has clearly done a very bad job with matlab ubuntu.Hello, my name is Alex Colón from the Customer Success Program at MathWorks. If you are still reading your problem is pretty bad. So I changed the permission for that folder by "chmod" and then it worked. By kind of I mean matlab complained that it cant write preferences in "~/.matlab". If there is a folder with "_licenses" in the name, DO NOT rename that folder" kind of worked. Rename the directory named after the version of MATLAB you are using to have _old at the end. "Go to the ".matlab/" directory in the users home directory. Now there could be another problem that your matlab freezes just after the opening window and doesn't go any further. when it exits without error you are done with the licence part. follow the steps and let it detect the user-name and do not change it. otherwise run the activation client manually(no sudo), it is called "activate_matlab.sh" in the bin folder. It should take you to the activation client. So change the permission of this folder using "sudo chmod 777 R2015a_licenses". So the activation application could not write the required file. Now the problem is this folder was accessible only to root. In my case the folder "~/.matlab/R2015a_licenses/" did not exist. Way too old thread but viewed 4523 times and active 16 days ago so still relevant I guess. You can do this by typing sudo apt-get install matlab-support Optional: if you haven't already done it, you can install matlab-support so you can launch it after you finish activating MATLAB. Now go back to the beginning of the activation client menu and fill in the bubble that says "Activate automatically using the Internet."ĭo everything you did before except this time at the end of the activation when it asks you to type in the name of your computers user, you need to type root, instead of your username or instead of anything you want to put. This was just to check what your computer login name was and to make sure it is root. Here you will find your computers basic install info. Now check the bubble in front of "I do not have a license file. This time you need check the bubble in front of "Activate manually without the Internet." Now a window will pop up just like it did when you were installing it. Now type cd once more by typing cd bin (this is where the activation client is stored) Now you can list everything that is in that directory by typing ls into the terminal window. If not uninstall and install as root.įor me it was the default that was given but you may have wanted to install it in a different location.ĭefault install location: /usr/local/MATLAB/R(year)(a or b) ![]() If you installed as root (which you should have) then your fine. Here are the steps to getting everything working!! This is also assuming that you have MATLAB installed and cannot get it to launch. After toying around with the activation client I finally have a good answer as to why MATLAB will not activate. ![]()
