Start the License Manager
To start MATLAB software on a client computer, the license manager must be running
on the server. On Windows systems, the installer configures the license manager to start
automatically when you start your system. (On Linux systems you must edit the system
boot scripts–see “Configuring the License Manager to Start Automatically on Linux
Systems” on page 3-61 .) If you accepted this default configuration, the easiest way
to start the license manager is to restart the computer on which you installed the license
manager. There are several other ways to start the license manager, depending on your
platform. The following section describes these methods.
• “Windows Systems” on page 3-60
• “Linux and Mac OS X Systems” on page 3-61
Note:
The user name associated with the license manager process should be a user that
is defined locally on the system, not defined on a network. The license manager starts up
properly only if the user name can be found during the startup process on the computer,
before network users are available.
Windows Systems
You can start the license manager on Windows systems using any of the following
methods:
• Use the Windows Services control panel to start or stop the license manager, if you
chose to configure it as a service during installation. On the Windows Start menu,
select Settings > Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Services
• Use the license management utility, lmtools.exe, included in your MATLAB
installation in the matlabroot\etc\$ARCH folder, where $ARCH is a platform-
