Installation Procedures for Network License Manager
For network installations, MathWorks uses a license manager program from Flexera Software, Inc.
(referred to in this documentation as the network license manager).
It is a good practice to install the network license manager before installing MATLAB. Doing so
makes it easier to verify your MATLAB installations, because you can confirm the client computers
are accessing the license server correctly at the time of installation.
Select a procedure from the Administer Network Licenses category to install and run the network
license manager.
After you have installed the network license manager, select a procedure for installing MATLAB.
Caution
Follow these recommendations when planning your network installation:
• Do not expose the commands to run the network license manager to the Internet or an untrusted
network.
• Start the network license manager so that local administrator access is required to run the
shutdown procedure. .
Installation Procedures for MATLAB
To install MATLAB on user computers, you must be:
• An administrator for the license that you want to install
• A user named on the license or who has linked the network license to their MathWorks Account
