You will need to reactivate your MATLAB software license every year on December 30. The instructions below will explain how to reactivate your MATLAB license file.
Reactivating MATLAB on a PC or Mac
- Open MATLAB. If your MATLAB license has already expired, the activation client will launch and you can skip the next step.
- Navigate to Help Menu > Licensing > Activate Software.
- Choose Activate using Internet. NOTE: If your computer is behind a firewall, you may need to temporarily deactivate it in order to complete the reactivation process.
- Once you have reactivated MATLAB, you will need to restart the program for it to update.
NOTE: If the installation has already expired, you will be prompted to activate when attempting to launch MATLAB.
