Using Concurrent Toolboxes in a Stand-alone Installation

If you have an Individual license in a stand-alone installation, you can still use toolboxes that have a Concurrent license, and are made available over the network from a license server. You must use two License Files: one for the individual licensed products and another for the concurrently licensed products.

To set up this configuration, follow these instructions.

  1. Perform a stand-alone installation of the products for which you have an Individual license, if you have not already done so. Use the PLP for your Individual license in this installation. See Basic Installation Procedure to learn how.
  2. Move the processed License File (license.dat) created by this installation out of the $MATLAB\bin\win32 folder to any convenient folder, such as the desktop.
  3. Run the installer again, this time to install the toolboxes that have a Concurrent license. Use the PLP for your concurrent license in this installation.
  4. Specify the location of the processed License File on your license server ($MATLAB\flexlm\license.dat) when asked by the installer. See Step 4: Specify Location of License File.
  5. Specify the same installation folder as your stand-alone installation and select only the products you want to use that are not already part of your Individual license installation. See Step 7: Specify Folder and Products for more information.
  6. After the installation is finished, rename the processed License File created by this installation. Open the $MATLAB\bin\win32 folder and change the name of the license.dat file to license.lic.
  7. Move the original License File, license.dat, that was created during the standalone installation, back into the $MATLAB\bin\win32 folder.
  8. Start MATLAB. You can now run the toolboxes with a concurrent license from your stand-alone installation.
