What is MATLAB Online?

I recently heard about MATLAB Online. What is it, and where can I learn more about it?

Answer 1

[MathWorks Support Team]

MATLAB Online is the web-based version of the MATLAB that can run within select supported web browsers from any computer with an active Internet connection, and allows collaboration, online sharing and access to compute resources maintained by the MathWorks. There is no need to download, install or maintain anything.

MATLAB Online interfaces with your files located on MATLAB Drive, which can synchronize with your desktop files, as well as your MATLAB Mobile files.

As of Sep 23, 2019 (and somewhat earlier), the links to "MATLAB Online" (matlab.mathworks.com) fail for both Firefox and Edge (I haven't tried Chrome), due to a bad or expired site certificate. I am taking the Coursera (Stanford) "Machine Learning" course and would prefer not to install the full MATLAB (requires Java runtime components, etc.)

Please Help.

That is the wrong URL. The URL is https://matlab.mathworks.com . Notice mathworks as compared to mathwork -- the mathwork one is a site that pushes you to install a browser toolbar that does who-knows-what.

Thank you Walter - I must have misstyped it when entering the comment above. But it still happens that pressing the "MATLAB Online" buttons on the page https://www.mathworks.com/products/matlab-online.html (leading to https://matlab.mathworks.com) trigger "Insecure Site" errors in Firefox and Edge browsers, with no way to press forward.

My system is overburdened with software, so the option of an "Online" operation is most preferable. Thanks again.

That's not the behavior I'm seeing. I recommend contacting your IT staff to determine if this is related to some security software and/or policies they've deployed on your machine and/or your network. If not, you and your IT staff should probably contact Technical Support using the telephone icon in the upper-right corner of this page and work with Support to determine why the browsers on your machine are flagging MATLAB Online as insecure and how to correct the problem.

Thank you Steven - You were right - and now I'm confused. This morning, after I posted the last comment, it went from Firefox/Edge complaint to full-site-application block - I know that is our network security (PAN) appliance. I then relayed to our security team the issue, they fixed it, and now I can access MATLAB Online. Had I gotten the full-app-block page immediately, I would not have complained here. Why Firefox and Edge were making "Untrusted Connection" complaints is beyond me now... But I'm happy I got this done, in any case. Cheers!

Can I use Matlab Online for free perpetually??? Please tell.

[Kaushal Sorte]

I am a student. I logged in my MathWorks account. So is the Matlab Online only available for the trial period?

[Ioannis Prokopiou]

He already knows now. Matlab Online also needs a license

Hi.

Can I access Matlab online on a trial basis

[Walter Roberson]

Sorry, No.

[Hisham]

Hi Taufeeq:

Currently, trial access to MATLAB Online is only available for students (as indicated in your MathWorks Account). If you are interested in trying MATLAB Online for research or commercial use, please contact either your account manager, or myself through a private message.

Hi!

For one of my classes I will have to use MatLab, I was wondering if the onlive version has already the Image Processing Toolbox, Computer Vision Toolbox and the Image Acquisition Toolbox?

Thank you!

Teresa

[Colin Fraser]

Hello Teresa,

Image Processing Toolbox and Computer Vision toolbox are available in a limited form. Unfortunately, Image Acquistion Toolbox is not available. You can review the limitations with MATLAB in the link below.
