Installation guide

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.
License File Processing on Client Systems
In a client installation, when you need to specify the name of a License File,
you must specify the License File that was processed during the installation
ofthe license manager on your Ucense server, not the License File you created
from the license e-mail. The client installation needs the SERVER line that
was added during the installation of the Ucense manager. If you specify the
name of the License File you created from the license e-mail, the installer will
proceed with the installation, but you will not be able to run MATLAB on the
client until you edit the template License FUe in the matiabroot\bin\win32
folder, adding the SERVER line from the processed License File.
Note During the client installation process, the installer deletes all the
INCREMENT lines and the DAEMON line in the License File and replaces them
with a single line USE_SERVER.
License File Search Path
When you start MATLAB, it reads the License File to determine the host
name and port address ofthe license server. MATLAB must contact the server
to get licenses. MATLAB expects to find the License File, license. dat, in
a standard location, but you can specify another location using either of the
following methods:
• "Using Environment Variables to Specify the License File Location" on
page 3-9
• "Using the -c Command Line Option" on page 3-9
