Concurrent License Installation Procedure
2-2
Start Here
This chapter describes how to set up a concurrent installation of the MATLAB 
6 family of products for Release 12.1. 
In a concurrent installation, The MathWorks uses a license manager program 
called FLEXlm (a product of GLOBEtrotter Software, Inc.) to control access to 
its products. To set up a concurrent installation, you must install the license 
manager as well as the MathWorks products you purchased. You use the 
MathWorks Installer to perform both installations. 
This chapter includes information about:
• How to set up a concurrent installation. This section describes how you 
determine on which systems you will install the license manager and on 
which systems you will install the MathWorks products. 
• The concurrent installation procedure
For information about starting MATLAB and other tasks you can perform after 
a successful installation, see “After You Install” on page 2-21.
Note Using the installer you can set up a concurrent installation with little 
knowledge of license management software, even if you own other products 
that use FLEXlm for license management. 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. 
Chapter 3, “License Management” provides an overview of how The 
MathWorks uses FLEXlm. For more detailed information about licensing, 
read the FLEXlm End User Manual, which is included in your MATLAB 
installation in PDF format (
$MATLAB\flexlm\enduser.pdf)
