Overview

Note    A printable version of the License Administration Guide is available in PDF format.

The MathWorks provides several licensing options for its products, which when combined with the supported installation types, provide a wide range of asset mobility. Asset mobility, as used here, means the ease with which product licenses can be redeployed to different users.

The following sections

• Describe the license options
• Describe the installation types
• Provide a matrix of license options and the installation types they support
• Provide a glossary of licensing terminology

License Options

This table briefly describes the license options, listed in order of increasing asset mobility. For detailed information about installing and administering each option, see the appropriate section in this chapter.

License Option	Description
