Why do I receive License Manager Error -13?

When I start MATLAB I receive the following error:

ERROR: License Manager Error -13.
No SERVER lines in license file

"License Manager Error -13" indicates that the SERVER and/or DAEMON lines are missing from the license file. 

The SERVER and DAEMON lines are added to the "license.dat" file when the network license manager is installed. These lines should appear just before the INCREMENT lines in your license.dat file.

 

If you need to add these lines to your license file, please see the following article for instructions:

NOTE: Once you have made changes to your license file, be sure to restart the license manager for these changes to take effect. For more information on how to restart the license manager, see the following Related Articles:

network.lic files go on the client machine, and do not have INCREMENT lines. The INCREMENT lines go in the network.dat file on the server.
