Hi Mike,
As per my understanding you are facing errors while trying to install Matlab. Below is the little insight for both the mentioned errors
Error-1:-
This error is either a result of a missing license.dat file, or not having read permissions to the license.dat file.
To check for the license file, please refer to the link below.
Where are the license files for MATLAB located?
If you are using a network installation, contact your License Administrator or person maintaining the Network License Manager for a new license file. If you do not know who your License Administrator is, please refer to the link below:
Who is my License Administrator?
If you have an Individual or Designated Computer license, try starting MATLAB from the bin folder where MATLAB is installed. MATLAB's default installation directories are listed below by Operating System. Note that the "X"s will need to be replaced with the release of MATLAB you have installed.
Windows
- C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R20XXx\bin\matlab.exe
Linux -
/usr/local/MATLAB/R20XXx/bin//matlab
Mac -
/Applications/MATLAB_R20XXx.app/bin/matlab
If MATLAB starts properly, delete the shortcut and create a new one.
How do I create a shortcut or link to MATLAB?
If you are receiving this error when entering a PLP for MATLAB R12 or R13 on Windows, this is a result of using a passcode generated from the license center. These PLPs will work as far back as R14. Any earlier passcodes will need to be requested from our Customer Service team from the link below:
Contact Matlab
This error can also occur when you have borrowed a MATLAB seat from a network-based license and the borrowed seat has expired. To resolve this error, you must re-connect to the network license manager and check-out the MATLAB seat again.
Error-255:-
Seems like this is a compiler error, Mike. For a complete list of supported compilers, click here and respective documentation.
For your reference kindly refer to Link-1 and Link-2.
Hope you will find it helpful!
