Product Licensing

Product Licensing 
When you purchase products with an individual license, The MathWorks sends 
you a Personal License Password (PLP) by e-mail or fax. Your PLP identifies 
the products that you are licensed to install. A PLP is a series of five-digit 
numbers, prefixed with a two-digit release code, such as,
12-12345-12345-12345-12345-12345...
Obtaining Your Personal License Password
If you did not receive your PLP, you can obtain one during the installation 
procedure by clicking on the Get my PLP button on the Personal License 
Password
dialog box. To get your PLP this way, you must have an Internet 
connection and your MATLAB Access number. 
You can also obtain your PLP by contacting The MathWorks via:
• The Web at 
www.mathworks.com/mla
. Log in to MATLAB Access using your 
last name and Access number. MATLAB Access membership is free of charge 
and available to all customers. The MathWorks enrolls the primary contact 
on each license automatically in MATLAB Access and sends the contact an 
Access number via e-mail.
