Depending on your network configuration, you might have to perform multiple installations:
Installing the license manager on a server — For network installations, you must install the FLEXnet license manager to control product access. You install the license manager on a server that is available to all your network users, referred to in this documentation your license server. If you are already running the FLEXnet license manager at your site and are familiar with licensing, you can copy the daemons into the proper directories and use your existing installed license manager. See Installing the License Manager on a Server for step-by-step instructions.
Installing MathWorks products on a server — If your configuration calls for users to use MathWorks products from a central location, rather than having them installed on their local system, you must install the product files on a server. If this server is the same system as your license server (it doesn't have to be), you can install MathWorks products at the same time as you install the license manager.
Installing MathWorks products on each client system — If your network configuration calls for users to install MathWorks products on their own systems, and only access the license server over the network, then you must install the product files on each system. The client systems must be able to connect to the license server over a network. See Installing MathWorks Software on Client Systems
Instead of performing the installation procedures interactively, providing the information requested by each dialog box, you can run the installer noninteractively. In this mode, all the information you would normally provide using the installer dialog boxes you enter in an initialization file. For more information, see Installing Noninteractively (Silent Installation).
Note For the network license options, you do not need to run the activation application to activate the software. Instead, you activate the license server in the License Center at the MathWorks Web site before you install. Client installations do not need to be activated. |
