"activate matlab.sh" file is missing.

My problem is that the "activate matlab.sh" file is missing.
I downloaded the packaged installation files from MathWorks.
I unpacked them on a Linux device.
I started the installation.
The MathWorks login dialogs opened, and the login was successful.
The license selection was correct, and the component selection was correct.
The installation process completed successfully. T
he destination folder and Matlab files were created.
The "activate matlab.sh" activation file is missing.
The program won't start because the license is not activated. According to the instructions, the MathWorksProductAuthorizer file is also missing.
How can I activate my matlab on linux?

I have the exact same problem on Debian 13, did you find a solution?
"activate matlab.sh" is not more,
instead run :
/usr/local/MATLAB/R2025b/bin/glnxa64/MathWorksProductAuthorizer.sh
tested on Debian 12
