After completing download the matlab, it says 'One user can use this license. Designate the final user who recieved license. And below it indicates like this :
Windows user name : ( )
What is Windows user name? I think it is not nickname, but I couldn't find it. And I can't run matlab because it says your username is not same as license username. Could somebody give me your hand?

  • The fastest way to get your Login Name is from a Windows Command Prompt:
  • Locate the search field, on Windows 10 this is in the Taskbar
  • Enter "cmd" into the search field and type enter
  • In the Command Prompt, enter the following command:
set username
  • Once you have determined the correct Login Name, use the MATLAB Activation Client and go through the 'Activation' Process again
