License File Processing on Client Systems
In client installations in concurrent configurations, you specify the name of the 
processed License File in the License File Path 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
directory.
If 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.
Running Multiple Versions of MATLAB
If you want to continue running a previously installed version of MATLAB 
after you install MATLAB 6.1, note the following:
• The previously installed version of MATLAB must be 5.2.x or higher.
• Both versions of MATLAB must use the latest version of the license manager 
(FLEXlm). MATLAB 6.1 requires FLEXlm 6.1g. 
• Replace the processed License File that your previous MATLAB installation 
uses with the processed License File created during the installation of 
MATLAB 6.1.
Note Because MATLAB 6.0 (R12) and MATLAB 6.1 (R12.1) both use 
FLEXlm 6.1g, you can run both versions of MATLAB on the same system 
without reinstalling the license manager. For earlier releases of MATLAB, you 
must reinstall the license manager. 
To set up this configuration, follow these instructions:
1
Shut down your previously installed version of MATLAB.
2
Stop the license manager. (See “Starting and Stopping the License 
Manager” on page 3-15.)
