Activate Installation Using Internet Connection

Step 1: Start Activation Application

To start the activation application, use one of the following methods:

• Leave the Activate MATLAB check box selected on the Installation Complete dialog box at the

end of installation. When the end user starts MATLAB, the activation process automatically starts.

Licensing > Activate Software.

• Navigate to your MATLAB installation folder and open the activation application.

• Windows Systems — Double-click the activate_matlab.exe file in matlabroot\bin\

$ARCH folder, where matlabroot is your MATLAB installation folder, and $ARCH is a platform-

specific subfolder, for example: matlabroot\bin\win64 .

• Linux and macOS Systems — Execute the activate_matlab.sh script in the matlabroot

\bin folder.

• macOS Systems — Double-click the activation application icon in the MATLAB application

package. To view the contents of the MATLAB application package, right-click (or Ctrl+click) the

package and select Show Package Contents.
