<div>'''[[wikipedia:MATLAB|MATLAB]]''' ('''mat'''rix '''lab'''oratory) is a [[wikipedia:Numerical analysis|numerical computing]] environment and [[wikipedia:fourth-generation programming language|fourth-generation programming language]]. Developed by [[wikipedia:MathWorks|Mathworks]], MATLAB allows [[wikipedia:matrix (mathematics)|matrix]] manipulations, plotting of [[wikipedia:function (mathematics)|functions]] and data, implementation of [[wikipedia:algorithm|algorithm]]s, creation of [[wikipedia:user interface|user interface]]s, and interfacing with programs written in other languages, including [[wikipedia:C (programming language)|C]], [[wikipedia:C++|C++]], and [[wikipedia:Fortran|Fortran]]. An additional package, [[wikipedia:Simulink|Simulink]], adds graphical multi-domain simulation and [[wikipedia:Model based design|Model-Based Design]] for [[wikipedia:dynamical system|dynamic]] and [[wikipedia:embedded systems|embedded systems]].<br />
<br />
MATLAB can be used on personal computers and powerful server systems, including the [[Cheaha]] compute cluster. With the addition of the Parallel Computing Toolbox, the language can be extended with parallel implementations for common computational functions, including for-loop unrolling. Additionally this toolbox supports offloading computationally intensive workloads to [[Cheaha]] the campus compute cluster.<br />
<br />
In January 2011, UAB acquired a site license for MATLAB that allows faculty, staff, post-docs, and graduate students to use MATLAB, Simulink, and 42 toolboxes (including the parallel toolbox) for research activities on campus and personal systems. Additionally, MATLAB is available to students on campus computer systems.<br />
<br />
== Using MATLAB ==<br />
Using Mathworks software available under the UAB campus license on your computer involves download and install steps common to all software packages and an authorization step that grants you the rights to use the software under the campus agreement. While straight forward, there are several authorization scenarios designed to support a variety of user communities. In an effort to simplify the software installation and get you working with MATLAB as quickly as possible, we detail three authorization scenarios to help you decide the best installation for your needs.<br />
<br />
===MATLAB on Your Desktop===<br />
<br />
====Simplified MATLAB Install====<br />
<br />
If you are impatient to get started, most MATLAB users can follow the [[Simplified MATLAB Install]], described in context [[MATLAB#Installation for Various Activation Scenarios|below]].<br />
<br />
====Installation Overview====<br />
'''NOTE:'''These steps are common to all install scenarios and are detailed in [[Downloading and Installing MATLAB]].<br />
<br />
# [http://www.mathworks.com/accesslogin/createProfile.do Create an account at the Mathworks site] using your campus @uab.edu email address if you do not have one already.<br />
#Request an activation [[Get a UAB Mathworks key | key]].<br />
#Associate to the campus-wide license using your activation key.<br />
#Download the software from [http://www.mathworks.com/downloads/web_downloads/agent_check?s_cid=mwa-cmlndedl&mode=gwylf&refer=mwa mathworks download site] and install.<br />
#Activate the software using the activation scenario that best suits your particular needs.<br />
<br />
We are working to simplify these steps and will update this documentation as improvements are introduced.<br />
<br />
==== Installation for Various Activation Scenarios ====<br />
<br />
'''NOTE''': Most on-campus users are encouraged to use the '''[[Simplified MATLAB Install]]''' option for activation unless there are special circumstances.<br />
<br />
# '''[[Simplified MATLAB Install]]''' - This is the recommended install when MATLAB will be used on computers that remain connected to the campus network. This installation still requires MATLAB to be downloaded and installed, but provides a simple activation process that amounts to adding a static 2-line file after the software is installed your computer. This option is highly recommend.<br />
# '''[[Matlab Designated Computer Install]]''' - This is the recommended install for mobile computing systems that may not be connected to any network when MATLAB is being used. This install type authorizes an individual computer to run MATLAB, allowing MATLAB to run regardless of where the computer is located.<br />
# '''[[Matlab Network Concurrent User Install]]''' - This installation is only recommended for system administrators who already manage a lab or departmental installation of MATLAB and who would like to continue to provide this service for their user community. This install type may also be practical if there are special additional license needs that will apply multiply computers running MATLAB. At present, all MATLAB toolboxes actively used at UAB are covered under the [[UAB TAH license]].<br />
<br />
====Installation Help====<br />
<br />
MATLAB is a self-supported application at UAB. A UAB MATLAB users peer support community is accessible via UAB MATLAB user community forum described below in [[MATLAB#MATLAB Support|MATLAB Support]].<br />
<br />
=== MATLAB on Cheaha ===<br />
<br />
MATLAB is pre-installed on the [[Cheaha]] research computing system. This allows users to run MATLAB directly on the cluster without any need to install software. MATLAB jobs can also be submitted to Cheaha directly from your desktop, however, this requires additional configuration on your desktop.<br />
<br />
==== Integration with Desktop MATLAB ====<br />
<br />
Accessing the additional compute power of Cheaha from your desktop MATLAB install is recommended for most users because it combines the familiar MATLAB user experience with the computing power of the cluster. However, additional steps are required to configure a desktop MATLAB installation to access worker nodes on the Cheaha cluster via the Distributed Computing Server (DCS) platform. Please see [[MatLab DCS]] for configuration information.<br />
<br />
==== Using Batch Submit from the Desktop Instead of ''matlabpool'' Jobs ====<br />
<br />
It is not possible to use matlabpool jobs on the cluster from the desktop. Instead, desktop MATLAB users should use the batch submit options described in the [[MatLab DCS]] configuration to submit their jobs to the cluster. Matlabpool jobs are possible when running MATLAB directly on the cluster as described in [[MatLab_CLI#Matlabpool.2FParFor_Parallel_Example| matlabpool from the head node]] .<br />
<br />
==== Direct Use on the Cluster ====<br />
<br />
Using MATLAB directly on the cluster is recommended only for people comfortable accessing systems via a command line environment (eg. secure shell SSH). The SSH environment can support X Windows sessions for displaying a full graphical MATLAB development environment on client desktops with an X Windows server installed, included with Linux and OSX systems by default. For more information on using MATLAB in this environment please see [[MatLab CLI]]. Matlabpool jobs are possible when running MATLAB directly on the cluster as described in [[MatLab_CLI#Matlabpool.2FParFor_Parallel_Example| matlabpool from the head node]] .<br />

== UAB Mathworks Site License ==<br />
<br />
UAB has acquired a university wide site license for MATLAB and Simulink software. This license includes all Mathworks Inc. products in use at UAB, with the exception of the Distributed Computing Server (DCS) which must be licensed separately. This new site license also makes available several new toolboxes and blocksets not previously licensed by UAB.<br />
<br />
This site license is known as the Mathworks Inc. Total Academic Headcount (TAH) license or Mathworks TAH. Mathworks TAH will make it easier for everyone in the UAB community to use MATLAB, MATLAB Toolboxes (extensions) and Simulink software. Specifically, it authorizes use of MATLAB on university owned machines for all faculty, staff and students. Faculty and staff are also entitled to install the software on personally owned computers.<br />
<br />
The TAH allows unlimited use MATLAB, Simlink and the 42 MATLAB Toolboxes in both research and teaching activities. Faculty and staff can install the software on computers located off-campus, however, students may only use Mathworks software on UAB owned computers computers located on-campus.<br />
<br />
UAB was the first university in Alabama to implement a Mathworks TAH license.<br />
<br />
== Parallel Computing Extensions ==<br />
<br />
MATLAB language extensions to support parallel processing are available via the Parallel Computing Toolbox. This is one of the [[2011 UAB MATLAB site license software|42 toolboxes]] available under the [[UAB TAH license]]. The Parallel Computing Toolbox enables MATLAB to make use of the multi-core processors found on many computers in order to speed the execution of code sections that can execute in parallel. This toolbox supports the use of up to 8 cores on a single computer systems through the use of worker threads the spread the execution of code across multiple cores.<br />
<br />
Additional parallelism can be supported by adding more worker threads via a secondary software platform known as the [http://www.mathworks.com/products/distriben/ Distributed Computing Server (DCS)]. The DCS runs on a compute cluster and can provide many more worker threads to increase parallelism. UAB IT Research Computing has licensed a 128 worker DCS installation for the Cheaha compute cluster. The Parallel Computing Toolbox can be configured to access this license from desktop MATLAB installations. Please see [[MatLab DCS]] for configuration details.<br />

MATLAB can be used on personal computers and powerful server systems, including the [[Cheaha]] compute cluster. With the addition of the Parallel Computing Toolbox, the language can be extended with parallel implementations for common computational functions, including for-loop unrolling. Additionally this toolbox supports offloading computationally intensive workloads to [[Cheaha]] the campus compute cluster.<br />
<br />
In January 2011, UAB acquired a site license for MATLAB that allows faculty, staff, post-docs, and graduate students to use MATLAB, Simulink, and 42 toolboxes (including the parallel toolbox) for research activities on campus and personal systems. Additionally, MATLAB is available to students on campus computer systems.<br />
<br />
== Using MATLAB ==<br />
Using Mathworks software available under the UAB campus license on your computer involves download and install steps common to all software packages and an authorization step that grants you the rights to use the software under the campus agreement. While straight forward, there are several authorization scenarios designed to support a variety of user communities. In an effort to simplify the software installation and get you working with MATLAB as quickly as possible, we detail three authorization scenarios to help you decide the best installation for your needs.<br />
<br />
===MATLAB on Your Desktop===<br />
<br />
To get matlab follow the instructions below or email mbolding@uab.edu if you need assistance. Put 'matlab' in the subject line.<br />
<br />
====Installation Overview====<br />
'''NOTE:'''These steps are common to all install scenarios and are detailed in [[Downloading and Installing MATLAB]].<br />
<br />
# [http://www.mathworks.com/accesslogin/createProfile.do Create an account at the Mathworks site] using your campus @uab.edu email address if you do not have one already.<br />
#Request an activation [[Get a UAB Mathworks key | key]].<br />
#Associate to the campus-wide license using your activation key.<br />
#Download the software from [http://www.mathworks.com/downloads/web_downloads/agent_check?s_cid=mwa-cmlndedl&mode=gwylf&refer=mwa mathworks download site] and install.<br />
#Activate the software using the activation scenario that best suits your particular needs.<br />
<br />
We are working to simplify these steps and will update this documentation as improvements are introduced.<br />
<br />
==== Installation for Various Activation Scenarios ====<br />
<br />
'''NOTE''': Most on-campus users are encouraged to use the '''[[Simplified MATLAB Install]]''' option for activation unless there are special circumstances.<br />
<br />
# '''[[Simplified MATLAB Install]]''' - This is the recommended install when MATLAB will be used on computers that remain connected to the campus network. This installation still requires MATLAB to be downloaded and installed, but provides a simple activation process that amounts to adding a static 2-line file after the software is installed your computer. This option is highly recommend.<br />
# '''[[Matlab Designated Computer Install]]''' - This is the recommended install for mobile computing systems that may not be connected to any network when MATLAB is being used. This install type authorizes an individual computer to run MATLAB, allowing MATLAB to run regardless of where the computer is located.<br />
# '''[[Matlab Network Concurrent User Install]]''' - This installation is only recommended for system administrators who already manage a lab or departmental installation of MATLAB and who would like to continue to provide this service for their user community. This install type may also be practical if there are special additional license needs that will apply multiply computers running MATLAB. At present, all MATLAB toolboxes actively used at UAB are covered under the [[UAB TAH license]].<br />
<br />
====Installation Help====<br />
<br />
MATLAB is a self-supported application at UAB. A UAB MATLAB users peer support community is accessible via UAB MATLAB user community forum described below in MATLAB Support.<br />
<br />
=== MATLAB on Cheaha ===<br />
<br />
MATLAB is pre-installed on the [[Cheaha]] research computing system. This allows users to run MATLAB directly on the cluster without any need to install software. MATLAB jobs can also be submitted to Cheaha directly from your desktop, however, this requires additional configuration on your desktop.<br />
<br />
==== Integration with Desktop MATLAB ====<br />
<br />
Accessing the additional compute power of Cheaha from your desktop MATLAB install is recommended for most users because it combines the familiar MATLAB user experience with the computing power of the cluster. However, additional steps are required to configure a desktop MATLAB installation to access worker nodes on the Cheaha cluster via the Distributed Computing Server (DCS) platform. Please see [[MatLab DCS]] for configuration information.<br />
<br />
==== Using Batch Submit from the Desktop Instead of ''matlabpool'' Jobs ====<br />
<br />
It is not possible to use matlabpool jobs on the cluster from the desktop. Instead, desktop MATLAB users should use the batch submit options described in the [[MatLab DCS]] configuration to submit their jobs to the cluster.<br />
<br />
==== Direct Use on the Cluster ====<br />
<br />
Using MATLAB directly on the cluster is recommended only for people comfortable accessing systems via a command line environment (eg. secure shell SSH). The SSH environment can support X Windows sessions for displaying a full graphical MATLAB development environment on client desktops with an X Windows server installed, included with Linux and OSX systems by default. For more information on using MATLAB in this environment please see [[MatLab CLI]]. Matlabpool jobs are possible when running MATLAB directly on the cluster.<br />

== MATLAB Support ==<br />
<br />
UAB does not have a campus-wide user support service for MATLAB. Users are requested to work with their normal IT support personnel for issues with installation and use.<br />
<br />
In order to facilitate interaction among MATLAB users, share experience, and provide peer-support UAB IT Research Computing has established a MATLAB-users group. To join this group and participate in email discussions please [http://vo.uabgrid.uab.edu/sympa/subscribe/matlab-user subscribe to the matlab-users group]. On-line archives of these discussions are available [https://vo.uabgrid.uab.edu/sympa/arc/matlab-user here]. Please note, the email discussions are a public forum. You are advised to only post information you are authorized to share and comfortable with being public.<br />
<br />
== UAB Mathworks Site License ==<br />
<br />
UAB has acquired a university wide site license for MATLAB and Simulink software. This license includes all Mathworks Inc. products in use at UAB, with the exception of the Distributed Computing Server (DCS) which must be licensed separately. This new site license also makes available several new toolboxes and blocksets not previously licensed by UAB.<br />
<br />
This site license is known as the Mathworks Inc. Total Academic Headcount (TAH) license or Mathworks TAH. Mathworks TAH will make it easier for everyone in the UAB community to use MATLAB, MATLAB Toolboxes (extensions) and Simulink software. Specifically, it authorizes use of MATLAB on university owned machines for all faculty, staff and students. Faculty and staff are also entitled to install the software on personally owned computers.<br />
<br />
The TAH allows unlimited use MATLAB, Simlink and the 42 MATLAB Toolboxes in both research and teaching activities. Faculty and staff can install the software on computers located off-campus, however, students may only use Mathworks software on UAB owned computers computers located on-campus.<br />
<br />
UAB was the first university in Alabama to implement a Mathworks TAH license.<br />
<br />
== Parallel Computing Extensions ==<br />
<br />
MATLAB language extensions to support parallel processing are available via the Parallel Computing Toolbox. This is one of the [[2011 UAB MATLAB site license software|42 toolboxes]] available under the [[UAB TAH license]]. The Parallel Computing Toolbox enables MATLAB to make use of the multi-core processors found on many computers in order to speed the execution of code sections that can execute in parallel. This toolbox supports the use of up to 8 cores on a single computer systems through the use of worker threads the spread the execution of code across multiple cores.<br />
<br />
Additional parallelism can be supported by adding more worker threads via a secondary software platform known as the [http://www.mathworks.com/products/distriben/ Distributed Computing Server (DCS)]. The DCS runs on a compute cluster and can provide many more worker threads to increase parallelism. UAB IT Research Computing has licensed a 128 worker DCS installation for the Cheaha compute cluster. The Parallel Computing Toolbox can be configured to access this license from desktop MATLAB installations. Please see [[MatLab DCS]] for configuration details.<br />

<div>Welcome to '''UABgrid'''<br />
<br />
UABgrid is a technology platform being built to support research at UAB.<br />
<br />
UABgrid provides a framework for sharing data, accessing compute power, and collaborating with peers on campus and around the globe. Our goal is to construct a dynamic network of services that supports the development and execution of advanced research processes.<br />
<br />
The UABgrid pilot was launched in September 2007 and has since focused on demonstrating the utility of the platform in three key areas:<br />
<br />
* '''High Performance Computing''' (HPC) - [[Cheaha]], a compute fabric to power even the largest analysis work loads<br />
* '''Data Sharing''' - supporting the trusted exchange of information to spark new ideas<br />
* [http://docs.uabgrid.uab.edu/wiki/Documentation#User_Guide '''Collaboration'''] - putting the tools you need at your fingertips<br />
<br />
The research platform is being built on the same technology foundation that has successfully served the needs of prominent national and international initiatives like [https://cabig.nci.nih.gov caBIG], the [http://opensciencegrid.org/ Open Science Grid], [http://www.teragrid.org/ TeraGrid], and the [http://lcg.web.cern.ch/LCG/ LHC Computing Grid]. <br />
<br />
Construction of the research platform is lead by UAB IT in cooperation with a growing list of collaborators that includes the Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS), the Comprehensive Cancer Center (CCC), the Department of Computer and Information Sciences, the Department of Mechanical Engineering, and Health System Information Services (HSIS). Platform development is conducted openly via the [http://dev.uabgrid.uab.edu UABgrid development wiki].<br />
<br />
As part of the process of builing this research computing platform, UAB IT Research Computing has also been hosting campus-wide CyberInfrastructure (CI) Days since 2007. Starting in 2011 the name of UAB CI Days is being changed to [http://docs.uabgrid.uab.edu/wiki/UAB_Research_Computing_Day '''UAB Research Computing Day'''], which will continue to be campus symposium on research computing and cyber-infrastructure (CI) developments and accomplishments.<br />

<hr />
<div>This page covers the steps involved to install Mathworks software on an individual computer. This type of installation is termed a '''Designated Computer''' install. Designated Computer installations are completely stand alone installations and are individually activated for each computer. This install type is required if the computers that will run MATLAB are not connected to the campus network when MATLAB is in use, eg. a laptop that you use on and off campus. It is also an acceptable installation choice when maintaining Mathworks software on a small number of computers, however, you may find the [[Simplified MATLAB Install]] easier to maintain for any on-campus computers.<br />
<br />
The Designated Computer install is generally not practical when a large number of computers need to be maintained, since the overhead of managing individual authorizations for each computer is too high. For example, when you are responsible for maintaining many computers in a lab or department or when you simply don't want to take on the responsibility for maintaining license authorizations for your installation. In the latter case, the [[Simplified MATLAB Install]] may be your preferred option.<br />
<br />
==how to install the software==<br />
The following instructions apply to dedicated standalone installations. <br />
<br />
{{MatlabAppPage}}<br />
<br />
In order to install and activate the software, end users need Mathworks accounts. Create a Mathworks account at www.mathworks.com with your official UAB email address (somebody@uab.edu). Students will not be able to install and activate the software. They are free to use the products on any computer on campus after it is installed and activated. For the purposes of this license, graduate students and post-docs are considered staff when using the software in the course of research.<br />
<br />
Users will need an activation key to associate their Mathworks accounts with the license. You can get the activation key from the UAB IT software site. See [[get a UAB Mathworks key]] for instructions. You only need to request the key once.<br />
<br />
After your account has been associated with the license, download, install, and activate the software following the instructions below.<br />
===installation overview===<br />
#Create a Mathworks account using your @uab.edu address if you do not have one already.<br />
#Request an activation [[Get a UAB Mathworks key | key]].<br />
#Associate to the campus-wide license using your activation key.<br />
#Download and install the MATLAB software.<br />
#Activate the software.<br />
<br />
This is a standalone license, so MATLAB can be used off of the network.<br />
<br />
===installation, more detailed version===<br />
A detailed description of the installation process is in the end-user section of the TAH admin guide:<br />
[http://pyxis.gsu.edu/twiki/pub/ResearchComputing/CampusWideMatlabLicense/The_Mathworks_total_headcount_installation_guide.pdf TAH Admin Guide]<br />
<br />
These instructions are paraphrased below:<br />

The Designated Computer install is generally not practical when a large number of computers need to be maintained, since the overhead of managing individual authorizations for each computer is too high. For example, when you are responsible for maintaining many computers in a lab or department or when you simply don't want to take on the responsibility for maintaining license authorizations for your installation. In the latter case, the [[Simplified MATLAB Install]] may be your preferred option.<br />
<br />
==how to install the software==<br />
The following instructions apply to dedicated standalone installations. <br />
<br />
{{MatlabAppPage}}<br />
<br />
In order to install and activate the software, end users need Mathworks accounts. Create a Mathworks account at www.mathworks.com with your official UAB email address (somebody@uab.edu). Students will not be able to install and activate the software. They are free to use the products on any computer on campus after it is installed and activated. For the purposes of this license, graduate students and post-docs are considered staff when using the software in the course of research.<br />
<br />
Users will need an activation key to associate their Mathworks accounts with the license. You can get the activation key from the UAB IT software site. See [[get a UAB Mathworks key]] for instructions. You only need to request the key once.<br />
<br />
After your account has been associated with the license, download, install, and activate the software following the instructions below.<br />
===installation overview===<br />
#Create a Mathworks account using your @uab.edu address if you do not have one already.<br />
#Request an activation [[Get a UAB Mathworks key | key]].<br />
#Associate to the campus-wide license using your activation key.<br />
#Download and install the MATLAB software.<br />

<hr />
<div>This page covers the steps involved to install Mathworks software on an individual computer. This type of installation is termed a '''Designated Computer''' install. Designated Computer installations are completely stand alone installations and are individually activated for each computer. This install type is required if the computers that will run MATLAB are not connected to the campus network when MATLAB is in use, eg. a laptop that you use on and off campus. It is also an acceptable installation choice when maintaining Mathworks software on a small number of computers, however, you may find the [[Simplified MATLAB Install]] easier to maintain for any on-campus computers.<br />
<br />
The Designated Computer install is generally not practical when a large number of computers need to be maintained, since the overhead of managing individual authorizations for each computer is too high.

<div>Welcome to '''UABgrid'''<br />
<br />
UABgrid is a technology platform being built to support research at UAB.<br />
<br />
UABgrid provides a framework for sharing data, accessing compute power, and collaborating with peers on campus and around the globe. Our goal is to construct a dynamic network of services that supports the development and execution of advanced research processes.<br />
<br />
The UABgrid pilot was launched in September 2007 and has since focused on demonstrating the utility of the platform in three key areas:<br />
<br />
* '''High Performance Computing''' (HPC) - [[Cheaha]], a compute fabric to power even the largest analysis work loads<br />
* '''Data Sharing''' - supporting the trusted exchange of information to spark new ideas<br />
* [http://docs.uabgrid.uab.edu/wiki/Documentation#User_Guide '''Collaboration'''] - putting the tools you need at your fingertips<br />
<br />
The research platform is being built on the same technology foundation that has successfully served the needs of prominent national and international initiatives like [https://cabig.nci.nih.gov caBIG], the [http://opensciencegrid.org/ Open Science Grid], [http://www.teragrid.org/ TeraGrid], and the [http://lcg.web.cern.ch/LCG/ LHC Computing Grid]. <br />
<br />
Construction of the research platform is lead by UAB IT in cooperation with a growing list of collaborators that includes the Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS), the Comprehensive Cancer Center (CCC), the Department of Computer and Information Sciences, the Department of Mechanical Engineering, and Health System Information Services (HSIS). Platform development is conducted openly via the [http://dev.uabgrid.uab.edu UABgrid development wiki].<br />

<br />
UAB has acquired a university wide site license for MATLAB and Simulink software. This license includes all Mathworks Inc. products in use at UAB, with the exception of the Distributed Computing Server (DCS) which must be licensed separately. This new site license also makes available several new toolboxes and blocksets not previously licensed by UAB.<br />
<br />
The new Total Academic Headcount (TAH) license will make it easier for everyone in the UAB community to use MATLAB and other Mathworks products. Specifically, it will enable use of MATLAB on university owned machines for all faculty, staff and students. Faculty and staff will also be entitled to install the software on personally owned computers.<br />
<br />
The TAH allows both unlimited use of MATLAB in both teaching and research activities, but only full time faculty and staff can install full collection of MATLAB and any of the 42 toolboxes and block-sets on their computers for UAB work. Students can use Mathworks software on UAB computers on campus.<br />
<br />
UAB will be first university in Alabama to implement a TAH license.<br />
<br />
==how to install the software==<br />
The following instructions apply to dedicated standalone installations. To set up a license server see: [[Matlab network concurrent license server]].<br />
<br />
In order to install and activate the software, end users need Mathworks accounts. Create a Mathworks account at www.mathworks.com with your official UAB email address (somebody@uab.edu). Students will not be able to install and activate the software. They are free to use the products on any computer on campus after it is installed and activated. For the purposes of this license, graduate students and post-docs are considered staff when using the software in the course of research.<br />
<br />
Users will need an activation key to associate their Mathworks accounts with the license. You can get the activation key from the UAB IT software site. See [[get a UAB Mathworks key]] for instructions. You only need to request the key once.<br />
<br />
After your account has been associated with the license, download, install, and activate the software following the instructions below.<br />

<br />
UAB has acquired a university wide site license for MATLAB and Simulink software. This license includes all Mathworks Inc. products in use at UAB, with the exception of the Distributed Computing Server (DCS) which must be licensed separately. This new site license also makes available several new toolboxes and blocksets not previously licensed by UAB.<br />
<br />
The new Total Academic Headcount (TAH) license will make it easier for everyone in the UAB community to use MATLAB and other Mathworks products. Specifically, it will enable use of MATLAB on university owned machines for all faculty, staff and students. Faculty and staff will also be entitled to install the software on personally owned computers.<br />
<br />
The TAH allows both unlimited use of MATLAB in both teaching and research activities, but only full time faculty and staff can install full collection of MATLAB and any of the 42 toolboxes and block-sets on their computers for UAB work. Students can use Mathworks software on UAB computers on campus.<br />
<br />
UAB will be first university in Alabama to implement a TAH license.<br />
<br />
==how to install the software==<br />
The following instructions apply to dedicated standalone installations. To set up a license server see: [[Matlab network concurrent license server]].<br />
<br />
In order to install and activate the software, end users need Mathworks accounts. Create a Mathworks account at www.mathworks.com with your official UAB email address (somebody@uab.edu). Students will not be able to install and activate the software. They are free to use the products on any computer on campus after it is installed and activated. For the purposes of this license, graduate students and post-docs are considered staff when using the software in the course of research.<br />
<br />
Users will need an activation key to associate their Mathworks accounts with the license. You can get the activation key from the UAB IT software site. See [[get a UAB Mathworks key]] for instructions. You only need to request the key once.<br />
<br />
After your account has been associated with the license, download, install, and activate the software following the instructions below.<br />
===installation overview===<br />
#Create a Mathworks account using your @uab.edu address if you do not have one already.<br />
#Request an activation [[Get a UAB Mathworks key | key]].<br />
#Associate to the campus-wide license using your activation key.<br />
#Download and install the MATLAB software.<br />
#Activate the software.<br />
<br />
This is a standalone license, so MATLAB can be used off of the network.<br />
<br />
===installation, more detailed version===<br />
A detailed description of the installation process is in the end-user section of the TAH admin guide:<br />
[http://pyxis.gsu.edu/twiki/pub/ResearchComputing/CampusWideMatlabLicense/The_Mathworks_total_headcount_installation_guide.pdf TAH Admin Guide]<br />
<br />
These instructions are paraphrased below:<br />
# You must have a MathWorks account with an @uab.edu email address as the user name. You can use an existing Mathworks account, but the e-mail address used for the account must include the university’s e-mail domain and the account must be set up for academic use. To create an account at the [http://www.mathworks.com MathWorks] web site, click the [http://www.mathworks.com/accesslogin/createProfile.do?uri=http://www.mathworks.com/index.html Create Account link].

<br />
UAB has acquired a university wide site license for MATLAB and Simulink software. This license includes all Mathworks Inc. products in use at UAB, with the exception of the Distributed Computing Server (DCS) which must be licensed separately. This new site license also makes available several new toolboxes and blocksets not previously licensed by UAB.<br />
<br />
The new Total Academic Headcount (TAH) license will make it easier for everyone in the UAB community to use MATLAB and other Mathworks products. Specifically, it will enable use of MATLAB on university owned machines for all faculty, staff and students. Faculty and staff will also be entitled to install the software on personally owned computers.<br />
<br />
The TAH allows both unlimited use of MATLAB in both teaching and research activities, but only full time faculty and staff can install full collection of MATLAB and any of the 42 toolboxes and block-sets on their computers for UAB work. Students can use Mathworks software on UAB computers on campus.<br />
<br />
UAB will be first university in Alabama to implement a TAH license.<br />
<br />
==how to install the software==<br />
The following instructions apply to dedicated standalone installations. To set up a license server see: [[Matlab network concurrent license server]].<br />
<br />
In order to install and activate the software, end users need Mathworks accounts. Create a Mathworks account at www.mathworks.com with your official UAB email address (somebody@uab.edu). Students will not be able to install and activate the software. They are free to use the products on any computer on campus after it is installed and activated. For the purposes of this license, graduate students and post-docs are considered staff when using the software in the course of research.<br />
<br />
Users will need an activation key to associate their Mathworks accounts with the license. You can get the activation key from the UAB IT software site. See [[get a UAB Mathworks key]] for instructions. You only need to request the key once.<br />
<br />
After your account has been associated with the license, download, install, and activate the software following the instructions below.<br />
===installation overview===<br />
#Create a Mathworks account using your @uab.edu address if you do not have one already.<br />
#Request an activation [[Get a UAB Mathworks key | key]].<br />
#Associate to the campus-wide license using your activation key.<br />
#Download and install the MATLAB software.<br />
#Activate the software.<br />
<br />
This is a standalone license, so MATLAB can be used off of the network.<br />
<br />
===installation, more detailed version===<br />
A more detailed description of the proces is the end-user section of the installation guide bellow:<br />

<br />
UAB has acquired a university wide site license for MATLAB and Simulink software. This license includes all Mathworks Inc. products in use at UAB, with the exception of the Distributed Computing Server (DCS) which must be licensed separately. This new site license also makes available several new toolboxes and blocksets not previously licensed by UAB.<br />
<br />
The new Total Academic Headcount (TAH) license will make it easier for everyone in the UAB community to use MATLAB and other Mathworks products. Specifically, it will enable use of MATLAB on university owned machines for all faculty, staff and students. Faculty and staff will also be entitled to install the software on personally owned computers.<br />
<br />
The TAH allows both unlimited use of MATLAB in both teaching and research activities, but only full time faculty and staff can install full collection of MATLAB and any of the 42 toolboxes and block-sets on their computers for UAB work. Students can use Mathworks software on UAB computers on campus.<br />
<br />
UAB will be first university in Alabama to implement a TAH license.<br />
<br />
==how to install the software==<br />
The following instructions apply to dedicated standalone installations. To set up a license server see: [[Matlab network concurrent license server]].<br />
<br />
In order to install and activate the software, end users need Mathworks accounts. Create a Mathworks account at www.mathworks.com with your official UAB email address (somebody@uab.edu). Students will not be able to install and activate the software. They are free to use the products on any computer on campus after it is installed and activated. For the purposes of this license, graduate students and post-docs are considered staff when using the software in the course of research.<br />
<br />
Users will need an activation key to associate their Mathworks accounts with the license. You can get the activation key from the UAB IT software site. See [[get a UAB Mathworks key]] for instructions. You only need to request the key once.<br />
<br />
After your account has been associated with the license, download, install, and activate the software following the instructions below.<br />
===installation overview===<br />
#Create a Mathworks account using your @uab.edu address if you do not have one already.<br />
#Request an activation [[Get a UAB Mathworks key | key]].<br />
#Associate to the campus-wide license using your activation key.<br />
#Download and install the MATLAB software.<br />
#Activate the software.<br />
<br />
This is a standalone license, so MATLAB can be used off of the network.<br />
<br />
===installation, more detailed version===<br />
A more detailed description of the proces is the end-user section of the installation guide bellow:<br />
[http://pyxis.gsu.edu/twiki/pub/ResearchComputing/CampusWideMatlabLicense/The_Mathworks_total_headcount_installation_guide.pdf TAH Admin Guide]<br />
<br />
it is paraphrased here:<br />
# You must have a MathWorks account with an @uab.edu email address as the user name. You can use an existing Mathworks account, but the e-mail address used for the account must include the university’s e-mail domain and the account must be set up for academic use. To create an account at the [http://www.mathworks.com MathWorks] web site, click the [http://www.mathworks.com/accesslogin/createProfile.do?uri=http://www.mathworks.com/index.html Create Account link]. When you create the account, make sure to set it up for academic use (under ''How will you use this software'').<br />
# Get an Activation Key. See [[Get a UAB Mathworks key]].<br />
# To download the software, you must associate your MathWorks Account with the TAH Campus license, using the Activation Key. You can associate with a license using the License Center at the MathWorks Web site. To associate with a license at the License Center, follow these instructions:<br />
## Go to the MathWorks Web site and log in to your MathWorks Account.<br />
## On the [http://www.mathworks.com/accesslogin/myAccount.do My Account] page, click ''Manage Licenses''. <br />
## On the My Licenses page, click ''Associate Me with a License''.<br />
## In the Associate dialog box, enter the Activation Key of the TAH Campus license. [[Get a UAB Mathworks key]]<br />
# Follow these instructions to install the product files<br />
## Go to the License Center at the MathWorks Web site and log in to your MathWorks Account. On the [http://www.mathworks.com/accesslogin/myAccount.do My Account] page, under ''My Downloads'' click ''Get Licensed Products and Updates''. (For now, if you do not have download rights, email [mailto:mbolding@uab.edu mbolding@uab.edu] or one of the other [[List_of_UAB_TAH_Asset_Managers | Admins]] and we will change the permissions. Put ''MATLAB TAH'' in the subject line.)<br />
## Select your products and download them.<br />
## Start the MathWorks installer specific to your platform.<br />
##* Windows: Double-click the setup.exe file.<br />
##* Macintosh: Double-click the InstallForMacOSX file.<br />
##* Linux/Unix: Run the install.sh script.<br />
## Choose to ''install automatically using the Internet'' in the Installer Welcome dialog box.<br />
## Review the software license agreement and click Next.<br />
## Log in to your MathWorks Account, specifying your university e-mail address and password, and click Next. If you have not created an account, select the I need to create a MathWorks Account option and click Next. If you are creating a new account, enter your university e-mail address, first name, and last name in the Account Creation dialog box. When you create an account you must also specify the Activation Key of the TAH Campus license. (see [[Get a UAB Mathworks key]]) Click Next.<br />
## Specify the license you want to install in the License Selection dialog box.<br />
##* If you have already associated your account with the TAH Campus license at the License Center, select the license from the list of licenses.<br />
##* If you have the Activation Key for the TAH Campus license, select the Enter an Activation Key for a license not listed option and enter the Activation Key.<br />
##* If you created an account in the previous step, you already specified the Activation Key, so the installer skips this step.<br />
## After specifying the TAH Campus license, click Next.<br />
## Select the Typical option in the Installation Type dialog box. This ensures that all products on the TAH Campus license get installed.<br />
## Specify the folder in which you want to install the software in the Installation Folder dialog box and click Next.<br />
## Confirm your choices and click Install.<br />
## When the MathWorks installer finishes, it displays the Installation Complete dialog box. In this dialog box, you can choose to activate the software you just installed. You cannot use the software until you activate it. The MathWorks recommends activating immediately after installation. If you want to activate later in a separate process, clear the option and click Next. To proceed with activation, leave the option selected and click Next.<br />
# Activate the software. '''If you chose to let the installer launch the activation application, the application can skip several of the steps outlined below''' because the installer passes the information to the activation application.<br />
## In the Activation Welcome dialog box, click Next.<br />
## Log in to your MathWorks Account and click Next.<br />
## Select the license you want to activate and click Next.<br />
## Specify the Activation Key in the Activation Key dialog box and click Next.<br />
## Confirm your activation information in the Confirmation dialog box and click Activate to activate the software.<br />
## Complete the activation process by clicking Finish in the Activation Complete dialog box.<br />
<br />
Your software is now ready to use.<br />

<br />
UAB has acquired a university wide site license for MATLAB and Simulink software. With the exception of the distributed computing server, this license will include all Mathworks Inc. products currently used at UAB. In addition, there will be several new toolboxes and blocksets included in the license.<br />
<br />
The new Total Academic Headcount (TAH) license will make it easier for everyone in the UAB community to use MATLAB and other Mathworks products. Specifically, it will enable use of MATLAB on university owned machines for all faculty, staff and students. Faculty and staff will also be entitled to install the software on personally owned computers.<br />
<br />
The TAH allows both unlimited use of MATLAB in both teaching and research activities, but only full time faculty and staff can install full collection of MATLAB and any of the 42 toolboxes and block-sets on their computers for UAB work. Students can use Mathworks software on UAB computers on campus.<br />
<br />
UAB will be first university in Alabama to implement a TAH license.<br />
<br />
==how to install the software==<br />
The following instructions apply to dedicated standalone installations. To set up a license server see: [[Matlab network concurrent license server]].<br />
<br />
In order to install and activate the software, end users need Mathworks accounts. Create a Mathworks account at www.mathworks.com with your official UAB email address (somebody@uab.edu). Students will not be able to install and activate the software. They are free to use the products on any computer on campus after it is installed and activated. For the purposes of this license, graduate students and post-docs are considered staff when using the software in the course of research.<br />
<br />
Users will need an activation key to associate their Mathworks accounts with the license. You can get the activation key from the UAB IT software site. See [[get a UAB Mathworks key]] for instructions. You only need to request the key once.<br />
<br />
After your account has been associated with the license, download, install, and activate the software following the instructions below.<br />
===installation overview===<br />
#Create a Mathworks account using your @uab.edu address if you do not have one already.<br />
#Request an activation [[Get a UAB Mathworks key | key]].<br />
#Associate to the campus-wide license using your activation key.<br />
#Download and install the MATLAB software.<br />
#Activate the software.<br />
<br />
This is a standalone license, so MATLAB can be used off of the network.<br />

==UAB Mathworks site license FAQ==<br />
; What is MATLAB? : A high level language and interactive programming environment for engineering and science. MATLAB is a product of Mathworks [http://www.mathworks.com/]<br />
; Which license are we getting? : Total Academic Headcount (TAH) Campus License.<br />
; What is a TAH Campus license? : Allows for campus wide access for MATLAB on university owned machines to all faculty, staff and students. Faculty are also entitled to install Programs on personally owned computers<br />
; Does this license include Simulink? : Yes<br />
; Which toolboxes are available? : We will be getting the base and standard set of products included in the TAH. The license will also include several additional toolboxes and blocksets. The specific set of add on products is under discussion. See the list of available and proposed software [http://goo.gl/FNmVB]. <br />
; Does this license include upgrades? I need to be on the same version as other sites. : Yes, upgrades are included in the license. You can also use legacy versions. See below for details about pre 2008a versions.<br />
; How do I obtain a toolbox that is not listed? : faculty and staff can purchase a child license<br />
; Who can use this software? : The Campus TAH allows for faculty, staff, and students to use the software.<br />
; Where can I install this software? : The Campus TAH allows faculty, staff, and graduate students using the software for research to install the software on university computers, laptops, and their own personal computers. Other students may install the software on university computers (but not laptops).<br />
; How do I install this software? <br />
: Request an activation key.<br />
: Create a Mathworks account using your @uab.edu address if you do not have one already.<br />
: Associate to the campus-wide license using your activation key.<br />
: Download, install, and activate the MATLAB software.<br />
: This is a standalone license and not a network license server license. With a standalone license MATLAB can be used off of the network.<br />
; Can MATLAB be installed on a server? (i.e. can I set up a network license server?) : Yes, contact the license administrator for assistance. <br />
; Can I activate the software offline? : Yes, contact the license administrator for assistance.<br />
; Do I need to create a Mathworks account? : You will need an account with your @uab.edu address as the username to activate the software.<br />
; If I have MATLAB already do I need to transition to the TAH license? : No, you can keep your old license.<br />
: You may also use your current license until it expires and then switch to the TAH license. <br />
: Alternatively, you may opt to "store" the unused portion of the license that is duplicated by the TAH license.<br />
; What happens if I have already purchased a tool that’s not on the site license, do I need to buy it again? : No. Existing licenses can be maintained and used with the TAH. Licenses for tools not included in the TAH can be maintained according to Mathworks' conventional academic pricing model and license use restrictions.<br />
; How do I activate a system that is not connected to the network? : Contact the license administrator.<br />
; What happens when you put your license in storage? Is there a grace period for transition to the TAH? : Yes, you will have a few days to a month to transition to the new license, depending on how long it takes Mathworks to process the paperwork. :) Remember that perpetual licenses will not be affected.<br />
; Are new purchases forced to be child licenses of the TAH or can they be independent? : They can be independent. You can purchase software from Mathworks independently from the TAH if you choose to.<br />
; Who is tech support for migration? Can I just contact Mathworks? : Mathworks has a dedicated support group to assist you with the transition. [mailto:support@mathworks.com support] for help.<br />
; Is having an @uab.edu address sufficient to allow activation? : No, while students may use the software after it is installed, students will not be able to activate the software<br />
; Who enforces compliance with 'no commercial use' rules? : UAB must make reasonable efforts to prevent inappropriate use of the software<br />
; Is this a perpetual license? : No.<br />
; Who is the license administrator you keep mentioning? : TBD<br />
<br />
<br />
; How do I ask a question that is not on this list? : You can simply email your question to mbolding@uab.edu for inclusion. Please put ''matlab site license'' in the subject line. Alternatively, if you are comfortable using wikis, then log in with your blazer id by clicking the ''login'' link in the upper right hand corner. (The other login links will not work.) And add your question to the bottom of the list. One of the site license working group members will try to answer any questions posted.<br />
