Get required installation and licensing information from your license administrator. This includes:
Client installations must use the License File that was processed during installation of the license manager on your server. The installer adds information to the License File during installation that clients need. Depending on how your license administrator intends to provide you with access to product files, you will need either a File Installation Key or an Activation Key. Ask your license administrator for details.
Exit any existing copies of MATLAB you have running on the system where you are performing the installation.
Get administrator privileges for the system on which you plan to install MATLAB.
Consider disabling virus checking software and Internet security applications on your system for the duration of the installation process. These applications can slow down or cause the installation process to appear to become unresponsive (hang).
If you have many client installations to perform, you can create an installer initialization file and run the installer noninteractively—see Installing Noninteractively (Silent Installation).
If you are upgrading your MATLAB installation to the latest release, The MathWorks recommends that you install the new version in a new installation folder. This is recommended when upgrading an installation of a prerelease version of the software as well. You do not need to delete an existing MATLAB installation before installing this release. You can run multiple versions of MATLAB on the same system.
To start the MathWorks installer, insert the DVD into the DVD drive connected to your system. The installer starts automatically. If the installer does not start, navigate to the top-level folder on the DVD and double-click the installer (setup.exe). If you downloaded products from the MathWorks Web site, open the folder containing the product files and double-click the installer.
In the first dialog box, you must decide how you want to perform the installation. If you are connected to the Internet, the easiest way to install is by selecting the Install automatically using the Internet option. During installation, you log in to your MathWorks Account, select the license you want to install, and follow the prompts on the installer dialog boxes. The installer can determine if newer versions of products that you are installing are available at the MathWorks Web site and offers you the option of downloading these updated versions. Click Next to proceed with installation.
If your Internet connection requires a proxy server, click the Connection Settings button. You can enter the server name and port information in the Advanced Options dialog box. The MathWorks supports several types of proxy configurations: Basic authentication, Digest authentication, and NTLM authentication.
If you do not have an Internet connection during installation, see Installing and Activating Without an Internet Connection. Note that a network installation has additional steps.
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.
Enter the e-mail address and password of your MathWorks Account and click Next. If you do not have a MathWorks Account, select the I need to create a MathWorks Account option and click Next.
Enter your e-mail address, first name, last name, and Activation Key. To create an account, you must provide an Activation Key. A newly created account will not have any licenses associated with it. The Activation Key identifies the license you want to install. The administrator contact on the license can retrieve the key by visiting the License Center at the MathWorks Web site. Click Next to create your account.
Because the Activation Key you entered specifies a particular license, the installer skips the license selection step.
Select a license from the list of licenses associated with your MathWorks Account and click Next. The list contains the following information about the licenses:
License number.
An optional descriptive text label that can help identify the license. To label a license, go to the License Center at the MathWorks Web site. See the License Center Help for instructions.
Information identifying the license option and the activation type. If an activation type has not yet been set on the license, the word "Unset" appears.
If you do not see the license you want in the list, select the Enter an Activation Key for a license not listed option and enter an Activation Key. An Activation Key is the unique code that identifies a license.
Note In a client installation, you can pick the Typical option because the license manager is not preselected for installation. |
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 chose 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 you are licensed to install. The products in the list are preselected for installation.
After making your selections, click Next to proceed with the installation. After clicking Next, you might receive a message telling you that one or more of the products you selected depend on other products. See Product Dependencies for more information.
Enter the full path of your License File in the text box (or drag and drop the file) and click Next.
When installing MathWorks software on a client computer, you must specify the License File the License File that was processed during installation of the license manager on the server, matlabroot\flexlm\license.dat, where matlabroot represents your MATLAB installation folder. You should have received this License File from your license administrator.
The installer performs the following processing of the License File on client systems:
Makes a copy of the License File you specify, naming it network.lic, and puts the file in the \licenses directory in your MATLAB client installation directory.
Deletes all the INCREMENT lines and the DAEMON line in the License File, leaving the SERVER line. Adds the statement USE_SERVER to the file.
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.
Depending upon which products you install, the installer might display a dialog box containing several types of information:
Product configuration information — Certain products require additional configuration. If you installed one of these products, the installer lists the configuration commands in this dialog box. You can copy this command to your system clipboard for use after the installation is completed.
Available product updates — If your license identifies products that are not on the DVD, and you are not currently connected to the Internet or you chose not to download product updates, the installer lists these products in this dialog box. After installation is complete, you can go to the MathWorks Web site to download these products.
Click Next to proceed with the installation.
When the MathWorks installer finishes, it displays the Installation Complete dialog box. Click Finish to exit the installer.
