MATLAB Installation Guide for Unix

Installing Additional Products

After initial installation, you can purchase optional products that extend MATLAB and provide additional application-specific capabilities. To install these additional products:

1. Exit MATLAB.
2. Stop the license manager. You can use the lmdown command to stop the license manager. See License Manager Tools for information about the lmdown command and other license manager commands.
3. Edit your existing License File or create a new License File.

1. To edit your existing License File, open the $MATLAB/etc/license.dat file in a text editor. Remove the old INCREMENT lines from the License File and copy all the new INCREMENT lines from the license e-mail you received from The MathWorks into the License File. The new License File information includes both the new products you purchased as well as all the existing products for which you have licenses.

Note    Avoid editing the individual INCREMENT lines; any changes you make may invalidate your License File. Do not delete the SERVER and DAEMON lines in your license file.

1. If you decide to create a new License File from the license e-mail you received from The MathWorks, place it in your MATLAB installation directory ($MATLAB). For more information about creating a License File, see Creating a License File.

Note    If you create a new License File, you must rename the license file in $MATLAB/etc, created by the installer during the original installation. If the installer finds a file named license.dat already exists in this directory, it will not process your new License File.

4. Perform the installation procedure, following the instructions given on each screen. However, when the installer presents the Installation Options screen, remove all the products listed in the Items to Install list box except the new products you want to install.
5. Restart the license manager with the lmstart command.

Consult the documentation that comes with your new products for any additional configuration requirements.
