How do I transfer a Student license to a different user account on the same computer?

4 views (last 30 days)
Hello, I've recently installed and activated Matlab on a laptop. Unfortunately I've accidentally activated the license for the computer administrator account, but I'd need to run it from another account and it is now impossible. I was hoping you could be so kind to suggest me a way to 'switch' the license between users of the same computer. Thank you very much

Thank you very much, unfortunately my issue is slightly different because I’m not the Administrator of the Matlab license -I am a student and the Admin is somebody inside the university department I suppose- and I just have to switch the license between users of the same computer, so I can just contact the computer administrator, not the license administrator. I hope there is a simple solution and I thank you again very much

Deactivate the existing license. Rerun the activation. https://www.mathworks.com/help/install/ug/deactivating-a-license.html
