Gathering Information Needed for Licensing

The Installation and Activation Next Steps dialog box contains the information you need to retrieve your File Installation Key from the License Center at the MathWorks Web site. This information includes:

  • Host ID

  • Release number (for example, R2013a)

  • Operating system user name (Note that user names are case-sensitive in activation.)

To get your File Installation Key:

  1. Remember the information displayed in this dialog box and click Finish to exit the installer. On Windows and Linux systems, you can click Print to print out the information.

  2. Go to a computer with an Internet connection and log in to your account at the MathWorks Web site.

  3. Visit the License Center and enter the information from this dialog box. MathWorks uses this information to generate a File Installation Key and License File for your license.

  4. Return to your computer and re-run the installer. With the File Installation Key and a License File, you can install and activate the software without an Internet connection.
