How do I run a license checkout of a Toolbox within MATLAB?

I want to know if I have a Toolbox with MATLAB correctly licensed on my system, how can I do that?

You can perform a "License Checkout" by executing the following at the MATLAB command window:

license(‘checkout’,’<feature_name>’)

replacing <feature_name> with the actual feature name. 

Note that this is different than the product name that is listed if the command ver is run. If you have access to the license file, it may be used to obtain the feature name.

Open the license file, search for the product name as it shows in ver and the name next to the word “Increment” in the same block is the feature name.

If you do not have access to the license file, please see the following on how to obtain a feature name within MATLAB:

Additionally, the above command will actually check out the license, which will not be returned until you quit MATLAB. To test if you have access to check out a license run the following:

license(‘test’,’<feature_name>’)

which will not check out the license.
