Installation Guide for Windows

License File Processing on Client Systems

In client installations in network configurations, you specify the name of the processed License File in the License File dialog box during the installation procedure. The installer deletes all the INCREMENT lines and the DAEMON line in the License File and replaces them with a single line USE_SERVER.

On client systems, the installer puts the processed License File (license.dat) in the $MATLAB\bin\win32 folder. If, by mistake, you use your original License File instead of the processed License File, the installer proceeds with the installation, creating a template License File in $MATLAB\bin\win32. You cannot run MATLAB until you edit this License File, adding the SERVER line from the processed License File.
