MATLAB Installation Guide for Windows    

Installing Additional Products  

When you order additional products, The MathWorks sends you a new Personal License Password (PLP). Your PLP identifies all the products you are licensed to install.

To install additional products:

  1. Shut down MATLAB.
  2. Insert the product CD into your CD-ROM drive, or double-click on the file you downloaded from the MathWorks Web site. The installer starts automatically.
  3. Follow the instructions on the installer dialog boxes, detailed in Standard Installation Procedure for Windows Systems. (For network installations, follow the instructions in Network Installation Procedure.)
  4. When you select the products to install in the Product List dialog box, described in Step 5: Select the Products You Want to Install, note the following:
    1. Specify your current MATLAB installation directory as the installation directory.
    2. Select only the new products for installation. By default, the installer lists all the products you are licensed to install and preselects them for installation. To only install the new products, click in the checkboxes next to the names of the products that you do not want to install to clear their selection.
  5. When the installation program is finished, perform any configuration required by the new products. See Configuring Certain Products for more information.
