Starting and Stopping the License Manager

On Windows NT and Windows 2000 systems, if you installed the license manager as a service, you can start it by rebooting your system. As a service, it gets started automatically at system boot time.

You can also start or stop the license manager using the Windows Services control panel.

Using the Services Control Panel

To start or stop the license manager on a Windows NT or Windows 2000 system using the Services control panel:

• Click on the Start menu.
• Select the Settings option.
• On the Settings menu, select the Control Panel option.
• In the Control Panel dialog box, double-click on the Services control panel icon, on NT systems. On Windows 2000 systems, double-click on Administrative Tools and then double-click on Services.

In the Services control panel, scroll through the list of services and look for the MATLAB License Server entry. The Status field of the license manager entry should be Started and the Startup field should be Automatic. To start or stop the license manager, select it in the list of services and click the appropriate button in the Services control panel.
