Installation Guide for Windows

Setting Up a Network Installation

For network installations, The MathWorks uses a license manager program called FLEXlm to control access to its products. (FLEXlm is a product of Macrovision Corporation.) To set up these installations, you must install the license manager as well as the MathWorks products you purchased. You use the MathWorks Installer to perform both installations.

Before you install MATLAB in a network installation, you must decide what type of configuration you want to set up. This decision will determine how many installations you need to perform. This section describes these options.

Using the MathWorks Installer, you can set up a network installation with little knowledge of license management software. However, if you want to integrate the MathWorks products into an already established license management scheme, you may need a more thorough understanding of product licensing. For an overview of how The MathWorks uses FLEXlm, see License Management.
