MATLAB Installation Guide for PC

Licensing Architecture

Note    The information in this section pertains to concurrent installations only. You do not need to read this section if you are performing a standard installation.

In a concurrent installation, The MathWorks uses a license manager program, called FLEXlm (a product of GLOBEtrotter Software, Inc.), to control access to its software. This section describes

• License management daemons
• License File format and its processing by the installer
• Important license management files

Throughout this section, $MATLAB refers to your MATLAB installation directory.

Note    For more detailed information about FLEXlm and license management, see the FLEXlm End User Manual, available in PDF format in $MATLAB\flexlm\enduser.pdf, where $MATLAB is your installation directory.
