Activate MATLAB Installation Manually

Activation Overview

Activation is a process that verifies licensed use of MathWorks products. This process validates the

license and ensures that it is not used on more computers or by more users than allowed by the

license option you have acquired. Normally, the installer continues to activation as part of the entire

installation process, and there is no action for the end user.

However, there may be occasions to manually activate the software, for example, if the activation

during installation fails for some reason, or if the installation was performed using a File Installation

Key and no license was supplied.

This topic describes how to activate the software manually should you need to.

If you are an end user who has been asked to activate MATLAB software that was not installed by

you, follow the procedure in “Activate Installation Using Internet Connection”if you have an Internet

connection. If you do not, follow the instructions in “Activate Installation Offline” on page 2-15.
