Obtain, install, and activate

Single user licenses (students & employees)

  1. If you don't have a MathWorks account, follow these instructions to get started.
  2. Go to the U's MathWorks software portal and use your MathWorks user name and password to log in.
  3. Click on the blue button to download the latest version of the MathWorks Product Installer to download the latest release of MATLAB and Simulink.
  4. Click on the blue button for your operating system to start the installation process.
  5. Once the file has finished downloading, launch the executable from the bottom of your browser to proceed. If you do not see the executable located at the bottom, you can find it in your downloads folder.
  6. Once the MathWorks Product Installer finishes extracting, it will open automatically. The installer will help you install all the products you need.
  7. For information about installing specific MathWorks products, please see MathWorks’ installation guide.

Concurrent and classroom licenses

Departments that require concurrent use licenses - designed for shared use workstations with continuous access to the university network, such as computer labs - need to complete this survey, which will be submitted to OSL. OSL will generate a license file based on the information provided, which will be emailed to the responsible party identified in the survey.

The university has five concurrent-use license options:

  • MATLAB TAH Academic Annual License
  • MATLAB TAH Classroom Annual License
  • MATLAB TAH Parallel Server Annual License
  • MATLAB TAH Production Server
  • MATLAB TAH Web App Server

For eligibility, see the eligibility chart above.

License administrators

Shared computers (workstations and labs)

Departments that require licenses for shared use workstations that are not managed by a server, need to complete this survey, which will be submitted to OSL. Upon approval, OSL will send an activation key to the responsible person identified in the survey.

Installation instructions are available on the MathWorks website.

Installing additional toolboxes

  1. See how to install additional toolboxes.
  2. Then proceed to installing products. 

Specifically, you must open the MATLAB installer and on Step 7: Specify Products to Install, where you will see the additional product(s) that are available to install. You must then select the additional product(s) that you want to install and then complete the installation process.

Updating your license

To update your license, you need to download a new installer from the MathWorks website, open the installer file, and the license will be renewed for another year.

Instructions are available on the MathWorks website to activate an installation online or offline.

Support

There are several options if you are having problems with MATLAB:

  • Do a search on the MathWorks support website
  • Ask a question on the MATLAB answers website
  • Contact MathWorks support
  • If you are still unable to find a solution, please email software@utah.edu with a description of the problem and, if possible, include a screenshot of the error. Include your order number, product name, product version and operating system.
