Each user who wants to install or update copies of the MATLAB software from Mathworks, Inc. needs to create a login on the Mathworks website.

University of Toronto has a university-wide “Full Suite” subscription with Mathworks. This entitles all current students to download and install MATLAB on one personally-owned computer.

The UofT subscription also allows participating units to order Academic or Classroom licenses, for designated computer or for a concurrent network shared license server. The ECE department has both Classroom and Academic network concurrent license subscriptions. Teaching lab PCs use the Classroom license. Research computing users, including profs, grads, RAs, PDFs, visitors, volunteers, and casuals use the Academic network concurrent license.

When you want to install MATLAB on any computer you manage, you will need a login on the Mathworks website to download the installer and to perform internet-based installs. Your login needs to be associated with the appropriate license subscription.
