The following instructions apply to Standard and Academic Use Licenses.

Requirements to link to a license:

• Create or Log in to a MathWorks Account
• Activation Key or License Number

If you do not have the Activation Key or License Number, contact your professor/instructor or License Administrator.

After you have obtained your Activation Key or License Number, click here. Enter your Activation Key or License Number, and click "Link License."

Does your university provide MATLAB to students? If not then you will need to purchase a MATLAB Student license. (Often the MATLAB Student Suite is a better bargin, but that depends on what you will use MATLAB for.)

There are different kinds of MATLAB licenses. One of the kinds available for Academic use is node-locked for use in a laboratory of computers. Those licenses are locked to the individual computer, but permit any one person at a time to use the license.

Some universities use a Total Academic Headcount license. Those are academic licenses but students are permitted to use them. The university IT would control activating those licenses.
