This error indicates that your license file is invalid because it was generated for a different operating system.
For example, this error would occur if a Linux license file was used for a Windows MATLAB installation.
To resolve this issue, you will need to activate again and specify the correct operating system.
There are two ways to activate:

Activate automatically using the activation application.
