currently I have this in my .bashrc

export LM_LICENSE_FILE=NUMBER@MyLicenseServer

However from what I understand this is the very "generic"
way to do it. It is causing problems with my installation
of icc because icc is looking for a license and not finding
one because there is no icc license server running on that
machine!

So the question is, generally there is a more specific
variable I can set, such as "Matlab_LICENSE_FILE" or
something - does anyone know what it is or where I can look
to find it?

Thanks,
Dave

MLM_LICENSE_FILE

or use the matlab (unix) -c option to indicate the location
of the license file. (A shell alias might help for that.)

Use MLM_LICENSE_FILE. MLM is the name of the MATLAB vendor daemon.

Alternatively, you can list more than one location, separated by a colon.

export LM_LICENSE_FILE=NUMBER@MyLicenseServer:/var/flexlm/icc.lic

Or, make yourself a combined license file listing both MATLAB and icc
licenses. They don't have to be served from the same machine.
