Matlab 2016 trial Normcdf not found

I have a 2008 version of matlab in which a function a colleague and I wrote works perfectly fine but I downloaded a trial version of 2016 in order to try the global optimization package with it and when I try to just run the program it throws back an error saying:

Undefined function or variable 'normcdf'

When I try to type help normcdf it says normcdf not found.

Everything I can see on the matlab documentation website seems to indicate to me that normcdf should still be a function in the new version of matlab and I just can't figure out why it's not working now. I've tried uninstalling and re-installing to see if it was an installation error...same thing still happens. Any ideas? Thanks!

normcdf is part of the Statistics and Machine Learning toolbox. You would need to have that installed as part of the trial.

that did it, thank you!
