Since 2022 there is a MathWorks Packet Manager for MathWorks products on Linux.
You can install most MathWorks products on Linux (not Windows) easily and fast - without requiring a license.
But for sure ... you can only use them with a license.

As you have found out already, you need to get an online activation or a license key for Matlab. What you have to do is to obtain an online activation or a license key, obviously.
What is your actual problem?

Check with your IT department (whoever manages your organization's software licenses) to see if your organization has a license that allows you to install MATLAB. If you don't, or if you're not a member of an organization click on the "How To Buy" link in the upper-right corner of this page.
