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. PLPs
are version specific. Do not use an old PLP writh a new version of MATLAB.
License File Could Not Be Updated
You can receive this error message when you are using the installer to update
your licenses - see "Updating a License" on page 1-23.
There are two reasons why you received this message:
• The license file (license.dat) in the matiabroot\R2006b\bin\Win32 folder
is invalid.
• You have multiple valid license files in the specified folder (e.g., demo. lie
and license.dat).
For more information about License Files that might help you troubleshoot
these issues, see "Personal License Passwords (PLPs) and License Files" on
page 3-4.
