Before you run the installer:
Have your File Installation Key and License File handy. You need both these items to perform an off-network installation and activation.
The File Installation Key identifies the products you can install. The License File activates the installation, identifying which products you can run. The administrator contact on the license can retrieve the File Installation Key and License File by going to the License Center at the MathWorks Web site.
Exit any existing copies of MATLAB software that you have running.
Get administrator privileges on your computer.
Consider disabling virus-checking software and Internet security applications on your system for the duration of the installation process. These applications can slow down the installation process or cause it to appear unresponsive (or to hang).
If you have an Internet connection, follow the instructions in Installing MathWorks Software in a Standalone Environment. The MathWorks recommends installing and activating automatically using an Internet connection.
You can use this procedure to install one of the standalone or network license options. If you use this with a network license option, you must specify the License File path and choose whether to configure the license manager. See Installing the License Manager on a Server for more information about these additional steps.
Insert the DVD into the DVD drive connected to your system or double-click the installer file you downloaded from the MathWorks Web site. The installer should start automatically. If you do not have an Internet connection, select the Install manually without using the Internet option and click Next.
Review the software license agreement and, if you agree with the terms, select Yes and click Next.
After the installation is complete, you can view or print the license agreement using the file license.txt located in the top-level installation folder.
If you do not have an Internet connection, and choose to install manually, the installer displays the File Installation Key dialog box. A File Installation Key identifies the products you can install.
If you have the key, select the I have the File Installation Key for my license option, enter the File Installation Key, and click Next. The administrator contact on a license can retrieve the File Installation Key from the License Center at the MathWorks Web site.
If you do not have the key, select the I do not have the File Installation Key option and click Next. The installer will provide you with the information you need to get a key.
If you choose the I do not have the File Installation Key option, the installer displays the Installation and Activation Next Steps dialog box. This dialog box contains the information you need to retrieve your File Installation Key from the License Center at the MathWorks Web site, including:
Host ID of your computer
Release number of the MathWorks software
Operating system
Operating system user name (Note that user names are case-sensitive in activation.)
License number or Activation Key (You can get these items from your system administrator.)
Save the information displayed in this dialog box. For example, you can print a copy by clicking Print. Take the information to a computer with an Internet connection and visit the License Center at the MathWorks Web site. The MathWorks uses this information to generate a File Installation Key and a License File. You must have this information with you when you return to the computer on which you want to install and activate the software. To exit the activation process, click Finish.
In the Installation Type dialog box, specify whether you want to perform a Typical or Custom installation and click Next.
Choose Typical if you have an Individual or Group license and do not need to specify which products you want to install and do not need to access any installation options.
Choose Custom if you need to specify which products to install, need access to installation options, or need to install the license manager (network license options only).
Specify the name of the folder where you want to install MathWorks products. You can accept the default installation folder or specify the name of a different installation folder. If the folder doesn't exist, the installer creates it.
When specifying a folder name, do not specify a name that contains the @ sign, an exclamation point (!), the percent character (%), the plus sign (+), or the dollar sign character ($). The full path of the installation folder must not include a folder named private. If you make a mistake while entering a folder name and want to start over using the default folder name, click Restore Default Folder. To continue with the installation, click Next.
If you are performing a custom installation, you can specify which products you want to install in the Product Selection dialog box. This dialog box lists all the products associated with the license you selected or with the Activation Key you specified. In the dialog box, all the products are preselected for installation. If you do not want to install a particular product, clear the check box next to its name.
After selecting the products you want to install, click Next to continue with the installation.
For Custom installations, you can specify several installation options, including:
Setting the permissions of all installed files to read only.
Determining whether the installer puts shortcuts for MATLAB software in the Start menu and on the desktop.
Specifying which files the operating system associates with MATLAB, based on their file extension. For example, if you associate files with the .m file extension with MATLAB, the operating system identifies the type of these files as MATLAB M-file.
After selecting installation options, click Next to proceed with the installation.
Before it begins copying files to your hard disk, the installer displays a summary of your installation choices. To change a setting, click Back. To proceed with the installation, click Install.
As it copies files to your hard drive, the installer displays a status dialog box to show the progress of the installation.
When the installation successfully completes, the installer displays the Installation Complete dialog box. In this dialog box, you can choose to activate the software you just installed. You cannot use the software you installed until you activate it. The MathWorks recommends activating immediately after installation. If you logged in to your MathWorks Account during installation, your log-in session continues into the activation process. Click Next to proceed with activation.
If you choose to exit the installer without performing activation, clear the Activate MATLAB option and click Finish (the button label changes). You can activate later using the activation application.
Because you were not logged in to your MathWorks Account during installation, or you started the activation application independently, you must choose whether to activate automatically or manually. Select the Activate manually without the Internet option and click Next.
To activate without an Internet connection, you must have a License File. The License File identifies which products you can run. The administrator contact on the license can retrieve the License File from the License Center at the MathWorks Web site.
Select the Enter the path to the License File option and enter the full path of your License File in the text box (or drag and drop the file) and click Next. If you do not have your License File, select the I do not have a license file option and see If You Do Not Have a License File for more information.
If you are activating manually and do not have your License File, the License File Retrieval dialog box explains how to get your License File and finish activation. The dialog box displays the information you will need to get your License File, including:
Host ID
Release number (e.g., R2009b)
Operating system user name (Note that user names are case-sensitive in activation.)
Save the information displayed in this dialog box. For example, you can print a copy by clicking Print. Take the information to a computer with an Internet connection and visit the License Center at the MathWorks Web site. The MathWorks uses this information to generate a File Installation Key and a License File. You must have this information with you when you return to the computer on which you want to install and activate the software. To exit the activation application, click Finish.
Note Your installation will not be activated. You cannot run MATLAB until you retrieve your License File. |
After activating your installation, you can run The MathWorks software. If you do not want to run MATLAB now, clear the Start MATLAB option and click Finish to exit the activation process.
