R2013a Windows (64-bit) Download and Installation Instructions

    Create a new empty folder to download the files to (e.g., C:\temp\).

    Click the Download button for each product, and save the file to the directory you just created. Some browsers, such as Firefox, save files to a default location, so you may need to configure your browser to prompt for the location to save downloaded files.
    Do not extract the zip files. The installer will extract them automatically.

    Double-click matlab_R2013a_win64_installer.exe to launch the installer. When prompted, log in to your MathWorks Account, select the license you want to install, and provide the information requested on each screen.

    When the installer asks if you want to proceed with activation, click Next. Activating right after installation is recommended. To get help for any part of the activation process, click Help on that screen.
