Matlab Licensing Information

Current Version Information

Matlab is a powerful package for doing numerical computations. It contains programs for solving linear and differential equations and eigenvalue problems. In addition to the basic matrix computation facilities, Matlab comes with a very advanced Graphics engine, and many Toolboxes to deal with the problems in specialized areas such as Signal Processing, Image Processing, Neural Networks, Statistics, and Simulations.

UITS currently leases Matlab licenses for Unix, Windows, and Mac OS X platforms.

License Terms

• Matlab is available to IU faculty and staff for use on university-owned computers.
• Students wishing to obtain their own copy of Matlab should contact the vendor directly.
• Matlab licenses are available for lease on an annual basis. The annual renewal entitles you to any upgrades put out by the vendor at the time you renew your software as well as program maintenance.
• Toolboxes are licensed separately from base Matlab. These are also annual leases. We do not license toolboxes without a Matlab license from us. We currently have licenses for the following:
  

  Bioinformatics Toolbox Communications Toolbox Control System Toolbox Curve Fitting Toolbox Data Acquisition Toolbox1 Database Toolbox Excel Link1 Fuzzy Logic Toolbox	Genetic Algorithm & Direct Search Toolbox Image Acquisition Toolbox1 Image Processing Toolbox Mapping Toolbox MATLAB Compiler Neural Network Toolbox Optimization Toolbox Partial Differential Equation Toolbox	Signal Processing Blockset Signal Processing Toolbox Simulink Simulink Control Design Spline Toolbox Statistics Toolbox Symbolic Math Toolbox Wavelet Toolbox
  1 Available only for Windows

• Adding toolboxes to a lease of Matlab at any time other than the initial installation or on the renewal date of July 1 will have a service charge added in addition to the fee for the toolbox.
• No vendor-produced documentation is included.

Hardware and Software Requirements

The following are minimum requirements.

General Requirements

• Netscape Navigator 4.0 and above or Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 and above is required
• Adobe Acrobat Reader 3.0 is required to view and print the MATLAB online documentation in PDF format.
• Some license types require a license server running FLEXlm 8.0d, which is provided by the MathWorks installer.
• TCP/IP is required on all platforms when using a license server.

System-specific Requirements
