Eric,
Error -9 means "Invalid host."

You should be able to resolve the problem by editing your license file. The
fourth line will look something like mine.
SERVER bens-macbook.local 001b63939018 27000
The part "bens-macbook.local' is my "computer-name" found under [Sytem
Preferences] > [Sharing]. On Mac OS X this is used to specify your HOSTNAME.
If you haven't set that, I don't recall how it defaults, but you can check from a
terminal window. Just type
set | grep HOSTNAME
If your hostname changes after installing Matlab, you'll need to edit the
license file. Even worse, your HOSTNAME can change if your domain changes.
Meaning that when I'm at work my name changes to "bens-
macbook.mycompany.com", and I also get an "error -9".
If you change this line to replace your "computer-name" with "this_host", all
should work as desired, at work or elsewhere.
SERVER this_host 00145167ef74 27000
Take care to use an editor that will not change the license files EOL character
(vi, textmate, are ok, but don't use TextEdit, Word, Pages, etc) ... to be safe,
make a backup before starting.
Another option is to set a permanent HOSTNAME for your mac, and use that
hostname in your license file.

On Leopard, I don't have a HOSTNAME entry. In the event you don't have one
either, you might try creating one.
