What is a Personal License Passcode (PLP) or a license file and how do I obtain one for my MATLAB license?

Answer 1

[MathWorks Support Team]

A Personal License Passcode (PLP) is a unique string of numbers that enables the installation of MATLAB R2007b and earlier on a Windows machine.

Beginning with R2008a, PLPs are no longer used to install MATLAB. MATLAB installation is now achieved by signing into the MATLAB installer. For more information about installing MATLAB R2008a and later, please see the MATLAB documentation:

https://www.mathworks.com/help/install/install-products.html

If you need to install R2007b or older you still must obtain a PLP. Contact MathWorks Support to obtain a PLP. Please note that PLP requests can only be submitted by a license administrator.

To get the PLP/license file, click on the row for the license. Once the details have been retrieved, click on the "Passcodes" tab. On the Passcodes tab, click on "Get Passcode" to get the appropriate code.

This does not work. There web page opened when pressing Get My Plp does not contain a PLP code.

Hi Alf,

Only license administrators and asset managers can access the PLP. Contact your license administrator to obtain the PLP.

Thanks,

I fail to understand the business justification on making this an option for license administrators only. As a student working under a blanket license for our institution, it makes zero sense for me to waste the time of another individual to gain a PLP just to install an archaic version of MATLAB, such that I can use an old version of a program.

Less hoops please - I don't like being a showdog.

[Walter Roberson]

PLP authorized individual computers even without access to the Internet or license servers. As the academic institution is paying for your license, they get to control the rules under which such licenses are given out to students -- rules like enrollment in particular courses, or minimum number of academic hours, or some kind of revocation for students who drop out. Mathworks is not going to assume that anyone who has an email address at a particular institution is a Student there, let alone one of the ones currently authorized under the institution's policies.

What is a Personal License Passcode (PLP)

[Walter Roberson]

yara sbaihat: PLP was a form of installation authorization password that was used in the past. The closest to that which exists in current versions is a File Installation Key.

Hi, AD! HOW I GET PLP IN MATLAB 2004?

[Steven Lord]

Contact your license administrator and ask them to request a PLP from MathWorks Technical Support. If you don't know who your license administrator is, contact Technical Support to learn who it is.

[Basavaraj Patil]

i do not have PLP for R 2007b matlab. Please help me in obtaining one

[Walter Roberson]

If you are a license administrator for your license, then contact Mathworks Support to obtain a PLP.

If you are not a license administrator, then you need to have your license administrator ask on your behalf.

The historical records show that,

The universal MATLAB 6.0 PLP license key was 42 .
The universal MATLAB 6.5 PLP license key was 43 .

For Matlab 7.x, they changed the universal license system.

The universal MATLAB 7.0 PLP license key was "Great Green Arkleseizure".
The universal MATLAB 7.1 PLP license key was "ZZ9 plural Z alpha".

The scheme may have expired by now.
