I have a licensed copy of Matlab, and downloaded several toolboxes for trial. It turns out that corporate has licenses for some of those toolboxes. How do I active the toolboxes? In other words, I have the right to make the trials permanent.
The toolboxes are now listed under the Matlab license. (They were not until I rasied the question of buying them.)
The license manager looks like this:
Clicking on any of the toolbox names brings me to the webpage for that toolbox.
I can't see a way to do it from the add-on manager.
TIA

Hello,
I can understand that you want to the activate toolboxes which are under the MATLAB license. So, here are the steps you can follow:
  • Open MATLAB and select the "Help" tab from the menu bar at the top of the screen.
  • Choose the "Licensing" option from the drop-down menu, and then select "Manage Licenses" from the submenu.
  • Select the toolbox you want to activate and go to Install and Activate toolbox section.
  • Repeat the process for any other toolboxes you want to activate.
I Hope this helps you to activate the toolboxes!

I don't think that helps me. When I "Manage Licenses" I am taken here:
When I select the Matlab license (the only one listed) I am taken here:
None of those toolbox entries is a link, just text. If I select "Install and Activate" I am shown this:
So I can't just activate, I have to download and install again. That means getting IT involved again.
When I type "ver" at the command prompt I am shown this:
MATLAB Version 9.12 (R2022a)
Antenna Toolbox Version 5.2 (R2022a)
Communications Toolbox Version 7.7 (R2022a)
DSP System Toolbox Version 9.14 (R2022a)
RF Toolbox Version 4.3 (R2022a)
Signal Processing Toolbox Version 9.0 (R2022a)
All those toolboxes are demos. Can't I just get a license for them?
