Matlab

Matlab

Matlab and Simulink is offered to the whole campus through Matlabs Online Portal/Campus-Wide License agreement. Faculty and Cadets are covered by the campus-wide license and can install software on their computers with out the need of IT assistance.

It is highly recommended to complete the 2 hour Matlab Onramp introductory tutorial of commonly used features and workflows if you are not familiar with Matlab.

Named User Licensing​

Matlab has changed to Named User Licensing away from our Concurrent Floating License. We no longer have the option to self host the Matlab license on our license server

To access Matlab in the computer labs you will need to have a Mathworks account to login.

What does this mean?​

When a user first starts Matlab on any computer lab machine they will be prompted to sign in using their Mathworks account, the computer no longer autopulls a license from our licensing server.
