License Management This chapter describes the licensing architecture used by The MathWorks and provides information about monitoring the license manager in a network installation. This information can be valuable if you want to integrate MATLAB into an existing FLEXnet licensing scheme. Licensing Components (p. 3-2) Primary licensing components, such as the License File and the daemons that are used by FLEXnet FLEXnet License Management Utihties (p.
w License Management Licensing Components Note The information in this section pertains to network installations only. You do not need to read this section if you are performing an individual installation. In a network installation. The MathWorks uses a license manager program, called the FLEXnet Publisher Licensing Module (a product of Macrovision Corporation), to control access to its software. This section describes the major components of the FLEXnet licensing architecture.
Licensing Components License Management Daemons FLEXnet uses a group of processes, called daemons, to control access to software applications. These daemons run on a server in your network. In this section, this server is referred to as your license server. License Manager Daemon The main daemon is the license manager daemon (matiabroot\flexlm\lmgrd.exe).
3 License Management Personal License Passwords (PLPs) and License Files When you purchase one of the network license options, The MathWorks sends you licensing information in an e-mail or fax. This licensing information varies depending on your license option, but can include a Personal License Password (PLP) and a License File.
Licensing Components # BEGIN cut here CUT HERE BEGIN # MATLAB license passcode file. # LicenseNo: 12345 HostID: INTERNET=144.212.101.
3 License Management # Do not change the case of any characters. License Files are case sensitive. If you received your license passcodes in a fax, create the License File by typing in the license passcode information exactly as it appears in the fax. 4 Save the file as a plain ASCII text file, naming it l i c e n s e . dat, and store it in any convenient folder.
Licensing Components SERVER Line The SERVER line identifies the system on which the license manager is running, using the format SERVER hostname HostID TCP_PortNumber where • hostname is the name of your license server, i.e., the system on which the license manager is running. • hostID is the host ID ofthe license server. The host ID in the SERVER line must match the host ID in the comment section of the License File.
3 License Management The DAEMON line can optionally specify the port the vendor daemon (mlm. exe) uses. The FLEXnet daemon (Imgrd. exe) and the vendor daemon use separate ports. If no port is specified, the license manager assigns the vendor daemon port dynamically. To specify the port used by the vendor daemon, use the following syntax DAEMON MLM C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2006b\flexlm\mlm.exe port=##### where ##### is an open port.
Licensing Components Using Environment Variables t o Specify the License File Location You can specify the License File you want MATLAB to use by assigning a value to either of two environment variables, listed in the following table. }.EnyirorimfentVigriqble:':V-| LM_LICENSE_FILE Specifies the location of the License File for all appUcations using FLEXnet on this server. MLM_LICENSE_FILE Specifies the location ofthe License File, but only for products of The MathWorks.
3 License Management FLEXnet License Management Utilities You typically do not need to know anything about the license manager. However, there can be times when you want to get the current status of the license manager or perform other license management tasks. FLEXnet provides several utilities that you can use to monitor and manage licensing activities at your site. The following sections describe these utilities. • "Using the FLEXnet Command Line Utilities (lmutil.

To view the log while the license manager is running, use the LMTOOLS utility, as follows: 1 Start LMTOOLS by double-clicking the lmtools.exe file in the matiabroot\f lexlm folder. 2 Click the Config Services tab.
3 License Management Using Time-Outs to Free Idle License Keys Note You can only use time-outs with concurrent licenses. If you have a concurrent license, you can use the FLEXnet time-out option to automatically retum idle license keys at your site. With license time-outs, the license manager automatically frees license keys that sit idle for a specified period of time, retuming them to the pool of available license keys.
Using Time-Outs to Free Idle License Keys 2 Add the FLEXnet TIMEOUT option to the options file, using the following syntax: TIMEOUT feature seconds For feature, specify MATLAB. You cannot specify separate time-out values for individual MathWorks products, such as toolboxes. For seconds, specify the amount of idle time you want to allow. The minimum value is 4 hours (14,400 seconds). If you specify a time-out value that is smaller, the minimum value is used.
3 License Management Experiencing a License Time-Out When time-out is enabled, if you open a MATLAB session, and then leave it inactive for more than 4 hours, when you return, you vriU find MATLAB still open on your desktop. However, you will see the following message displayed in the Command Window: Your MATLAB session has timed out. returned. A l l license keys have been The time-out is also recorded in the Ucense manager log file, as follows: Idle session.
Creating Advanced Configurations Creating Advanced Configurations Using the MathWorks Installer, you can set up a network installation with little knowledge of license management.
License Management Required Setup on Client Systems You must make sure that client installations of MATLAB use the latest version of the license manager. On Windows systems, the License File in a client installation tjrpically includes a SERVER line and a USE_SERVER Une, as foUows. SERVER my_server INTERNET=144.212.121.14 27000 USE_SERVER If your SERVER line still identifies the correct license server, you do not need to make any changes to your License File.
Creating Advanced Configurations To set up this configuration, follow these instructions: 1 Perform a stand-alone installation of the products for which you have an Individual license, if you have not already done so. Use the PLP for your Individual license in this installation. See "Overview of Steps in Standard Installation Procedure" on page 1-2 to leam how. 2 Move the License File (license.
3 License Management Running MATLAB v^ith Other FLEXnet Applications If you have another application that uses FLEXnet for license management, you can share a single Ucense manager, or run separate license managers either on the same or different hosts. The following sections describe these options. For more information, read the FLEXnet Licensing End User Manual, available in PDF form in matIabroot\f lexlm\enduser. pdf, or go to the Macrovision Corporation Web page at www.macrovision.com.
Creating Advanced Configurations Setting u p a Redundant Installation Perform these steps to configure a redundant installation: 1 Choose the systems that you intend to use as servers. When choosing servers, keep in mind the following: • The servers should be able to handle the network traffic associated with license management. A primary server must be chosen. This is the system to which clients connect first and which receives the majority of the network traffic.
3 License Management 3 Install the license manager on the three server systems in the redundant configuration. During each installation, the installer processes the License File, adding SERVER and DAEMON lines. For example, on the system named pooh, the processed License File might contain these lines.
Creating Advanced Configurations 6 Start the license manager on each system in the redundant configuration and wait for the license manager daemons on the three systems to synchronize with each other. This may take a few minutes. If, for some reason, the license manager daemons do not connect, take the daemons down on each machine, and rerun the procedure. Network traffic can affect synchronization, so it may require several attempts to establish a proper connection.
3 License Management Running the Installer Noninteractively If you have many MATLAB installations to perform, and the information you need to enter for each installation is the same, you can put this information in an installer initialization file and run the MathWorks Installer noninteractively. The initialization file provides the installer with the information that you would otherwise provide using installer dialog boxes.
Running the Instalier Noninteractively • Controlling visibility — By default, when you run the installer in silent mode, it still displays the dialog boxes as it progresses through the installation, even though no interactive response is required. If you want to suppress the display of these dialog boxes during a silent installation, set the value ofthe v i s i b l e parameter to f a l s e .
3 License Management Removing (Uninstalling) an [Installation To remove MathWorks products from your system, use the MathWorks uninstaller program ( u n i n s t a l l . exe). This section describes • "Using the Uninstaller" on page 3-30 • "Running the Uninstaller Noninteractively" on page 3-32 • "Removing Installations That Use Dongles" on page 3-34 Using the Uninstaller To remove MathWorks products from your system, follow this procedure: 1 Shut down MATLAB before trying to uninstall it.
R e m o v i n g (Uninstalling) a n Installation Select the products you want to remove. \ • i Uninstall f f o d M c t s iUnJjsl Slii^ Please checkthe products you v*ant to remove. Uninstalling from: D:Wpplicatlons\MATLAB\R2006M MATLAB /kerospace Toolbox Communications Toolbox Control System Toolbox Curve Fitting Toolbox Data Acquisition Toolbox Database Toolbox Datafeed Toolbox Excel Link Extended Symbolic Math Toolbox Filter Design Toolbox *_^'IVM;illi\\i)rk.
3 License Management preference files are stored in a system folder that is associated with a particular user. To find where your preferences are located, use the pref dir command at the MATLAB prompt, as in the following example. prefdir ans = C:\lVINNT\Profiles\username\Application Data\MathWorks\MATLAB\R2006b where username is the usemame ofthe person performing the uninstall. By default, the uninstaller does not delete these preference files.
Removing (Uninstalling) an Installation 2 Open your copy of the initialization file, using any text editor, and enter all the required information. For example, use the directory parameter to specify the name ofthe root folder ofthe installation you want to remove. directory=C:\Program Fil6s\MATLAB\R2006b In this initialization file, you can specify the name of the products you want to remove and other parameters. By default, the uninstaller removes all products.
3 License Management Removing Installations That Use Dongles In some installations, MATLAB requires a dongle. A dongle is a hardware-based security device that attaches to the USB port on your computer. It uses embedded codes and passwords to control access to software applications. If your system uses dongles, the uninstaller asks if you want to delete the dongle drivers. If other applications you run on your system use dongles, do not delete these drivers.

^ Troubleshooting Problems During Installation This section provides answers to some problems commonly encountered during installation.
Problems During Installation Invalid Personal License Password During installation, you must enter your PLP. If your PLP is invalid, you cannot continue with the installation. Verify that • You entered your PLP in "Step 3: Enter Identification and License Information" on page 1-6. Do not confuse your License Number with your PLP. A PLP is a series of five-digit numbers, prefixed by a two-digit code, such as: 15-12345-12345-12345-12345 • You used the PLP for the version of MATLAB you are trying to install.
A Troubleshooting Failure Overwriting on Existing Toolbox You can receive this error message when you attempt to perform an installation when an existing MATLAB installation is running. Make sure that you exit from all existing copies of MATLAB before attempting to run the installation procedure.
Problems After Installation Problems After Installation Afler a successful installation, you may encounter problems starting MATLAB. Many of these problems originate in the license manager (FLEXnet) used by the MathWorks products.
A Troubleshooting You can also get information about license manager error messages in the FLEXnet Licensing End User Manual, available in PDF format in matiabroot\R2006b\flexlm\enduser.pdf or at the Macrovision Corporation Web site, www.macrovision.com. License Manager Error Messages This section provides brief descriptions of some common license manager errors, listed in order by error number. For more complete diagnostic nformation about an error message, go to the MathWorks Web site, www.mathworks.
Problems After Installation • "License Manager Error -18: License Checkout Failed. License Server Does Not Support This Feature" on page 4-14 • "License Manager Error -21: License Checkout Failed. License File Does Not Support This Version" on page 4-14 • "License Manager Error -25: License Checkout Failed. License Server Does Not Support This Version of This Feature" on page 4-15 • "License Manager Error -31: License Checkout Failed.
4 Troubleshooting License M a n a g e r Error - 3 : License Checkout Failed. Cannot Connect t o a License Server This error can indicate that the SERVER or DAEMON lines in your License File is incorrect or missing. To remedy this error, try the following: Note If you make any changes to the License File on the license server, you must restart the license manager. Make sure that the SERVER Une in your License File matches the SERVER line in the License File on your license server.
Problems After Installation License Manager Error -5: License Checkout Failed. No Such Feature Exists This error usually indicates that you are trying to use a product for which you are not licensed. Note You must restart the license manager after making any changes to the License File on the license server. • Check your License File to see if you are licensed to use this product.
A Troubleshooting Make sure that your License File does not contain extra carriage retums or tabs. To avoid this, make sure that each line begins with either #, SERVER, DAEMON, or INCREMENT and replace any tab characters in INCREMENT lines with spaces. One way to check for extraneous tabs and carriage retums is to open your License File in a text editor and view all nonprinting characters. Remove these tabs and replace with them spaces.
Problems After Installation If none of your product licenses has expired, verify that the system date and time on your computer are correct: 1 Click the Start menu. 2 Choose Settings. 3 Click Control Panel. 4 Choose Date/Time. License Manager Error -12: License Checkout Failed. Invalid Return Data from License Server This error can be caused by your network setup.
^ Troubleshooting 1 Open the file, C:\WINNT\system32\drivers\etc\hosts 2 Add the hostname of your license server to this file. You can find your license server information in the SERVER line of your l i c e n s e . dat file. For example, if your SERVER line looks like this, SERVER hostname INTERNET=128.36.2.12 27000 Add the following line to your TCP/IP hosts file. 128.36.2.12 hostname 3 Save the changes to the TCP/IP hosts file. License Manager Error -13: License Checkout Failed.
Problems After Installation License Manager Error -14: License Checkout Failed. Cannot Find SERVER Hostname in Network Database If this error occurs on a client system, make sure that the hostname on the SERVER line in the l i c e n s e . dat file on your client system matches the hostname on the SERVER line in the l i c e n s e . dat file on your license server. Edit the SERVER line in the client l i c e n s e . d a t file, if necessary.
A Troubleshooting License Manager Error -18: License Checkout Failed. License Server Does Not Support This Feature This error tjrpically indicates that you have updated your License File without restarting the license manager. Restart the license manager and try to start MATLAB again. If you get this error on the client, but not the server, the l i c e n s e . dat file on the client probably needs to be updated.
Problems After Installation License Manager Error -25: License Checkout Failed. License Server Does Not Support This Version of This Feature This error indicates that you are trying to run MATLAB with an old license. You must update your l i c e n s e . dat file with your new license passcodes. If you do not have an up-to-date license, contact Customer Service at The MathWorks. License Manager Error - 3 1 : License Checkout Failed.
A Troubleshooting License Manager Error -84: USER_BASED License Has No Specified Users The license manager cannot find your options file. Some possible resolutions are • Verify that the installer created an options file during the installation procedure. The full path of the options file is matiabroot\R2006b\flexlm\MLM.opt, where matiabroot is your MATLAB installation folder. See "Setting Up Network Named User Licensing" on page 2-25 for more information.
Problems After Installation License Manager Error -97: License Checkout Failed This error can occur when trying to start the license manager while an existing vendor daemon (mlm. exe) is already running. To resolve this, open the Task Manager and terminate any mlm. exe processes that are running. If you cannot end the process in the Task Manager, reboot your computer. Once you reboot, restart the license manager.
A Troubleshooting Troubleshooting an Installation That Uses Dongles If your MATLAB installation requires the use of dongles, it can potentially run into conflicts with other applications you may be running that also use dongles. A dongle is a hardware-based security device that attaches to the USB port of a computer. To use a dongle, MATLAB requires a specific set of dongle drivers.

Release Notes for R2006a Upgrading from a Previous Release These topics summarize the potential compatibility considerations when upgrading from R14SP3 to R2006a: • "Compatibility Considerations in This Release" on page 30 • "Compatibility Considerations for New Functions and Models" on page 32 Compatibility Considerations in This Release Upgrading to R2006a is not expected to cause any significant compatibiUty problems for most users.
Upgrading from a Previous Release The compatibility considerations likely to be noticed by the broadest cross-section of users are summarized in the following table: Product and Area Compatibility Consideration Potential Impact Recommended Actions MATLAB Programming str2f une now issues a warning for invalid input. In previous versions, str2f une accepted a path to a file instead of a function name. Now it issues a warning, and will produce an error in future versions.
Release Notes for R2006a Product and Area Compatibility Consideration Potential Impact Recommended Actions (Continued) Simulink Certain MEX-files created in versions before Version 6 (R14) will need to be recompiled to work in subsequent versions. S-functions created prior to R14 that access the sigmap, siglists and sigregions structures might generate segmentation violations. Recompile S-functions in Version 6 (R14) or a more recent version.
Upgrading from a Previous Release Recommendations • In the By Product List of new functions and models (on the documentation page ofthe MathWorks Web site), scan the products you have installed for function, model, and variable names you already use, and note potential conflicts.
