Please excuse my ignorance here, but what is the difference between a
node-locked and a group license? My understanding was that a node-
locked license was for a single machine, but when I researched the
MatLab licensing online, I came across a MatLab group license with the
words "single computer" written under it, so I'm a bit confused.
