MATLAB Installation Guide for Unix

Running Multiple Versions of MATLAB

If you want to continue running a previously installed version of MATLAB after you install MATLAB 6.5, note the following:

• The previously installed version of MATLAB must be 5.2.x or higher.
• Both versions of MATLAB must use the latest version of the license manager (FLEXlm). MATLAB 6.5 requires FLEXlm 8.0d.
• Replace the processed License File that your previous MATLAB installation uses with the processed License File created during the installation of MATLAB 6.5.

To set up this configuration, follow these instructions:

1. Shut down your previously installed version of MATLAB.
2. Stop the license manager. (See Starting the License Manager.)
3. Install MATLAB 6.5. (See Installing MATLAB on a Client System if you are installing MATLAB on a client system.)
4. Replace the License File used by your existing MATLAB installation with the License File created by the installer during the new installation.
5. Start the new license manager.

After completing this procedure, you can start either version of MATLAB that you have installed on your system.
