MATLAB Installation Guide for Unix

Licensing Components

The MathWorks uses a license manager program, called FLEXlm (a product of GLOBEtrotter Software, Inc.), to control access to the software.

FLEXlm consists of these main components:

• License Manager Daemon
• Vendor Daemon
• Applications
• License File

Throughout this section, references to the $MATLAB directory refer to the directory in which the contents of the MATLAB distribution are installed.

Note    For more detailed information about FLEXlm and license management, see the FLEXlm End User Manual, available in PDF form in $MATLAB/etc/enduser.pdf, where $MATLAB represents the name of your installation directory.
