	This page covers the steps involved to install and maintain Mathworks software on a collection of network-connected computers. This type of installation is termed a Network Concurrent User install. Network Concurrent Users installations provide simplified software maintenance for environments with many computers because the license activation required to use MATLAB is isolated to a single server. Rather than having to maintain activations on each individual computer, as with the [[Matlab Designated Computer Install]], the computers rely on a license server which issues an automatic authorization to individual computers when the software is started.

	~~{{ResearchNotebook}}~~		This page covers the steps involved to install and maintain Mathworks software on a collection of network-connected computers. This type of installation is termed a Network Concurrent User install. Network Concurrent Users installations provide simplified software maintenance for environments with many computers because the license activation required to use MATLAB is isolated to a single server. Rather than having to maintain activations on each individual computer, as with the [[Matlab Designated Computer Install]], the computers rely on a license server which issues an automatic authorization to individual computers when the software is started.

			This configuration is ideal when you wish to maintain an identical MATLAB software configuration on many computers to simplify administration. The per-computer software activation configuration is a simple, static file that points to the shared license server. This simplified client configuration is the basis of the [[Simplified MATLAB Install]], allowing users to install MATLAB on their computers and then copy a small file to their computer which points to the campus license server and avoid any further license administration on their own systems.

			This installation type requires maintaining a separate license server which is then individually authorized under the campus MATLAB license agreement. Due to the overhead of maintain this license service, it is recommended that most on-campus MATLAB users follow the [[Simplified MATLAB Install]] and thereby avoid having to maintain a license server.

			The Network Concurrent User installation is not an appropriate installation for mobile computers that will run MATLAB while off-campus or otherwise disconnected from the campus network. In these cases, please use the [[Matlab Designated Computer Install]]. Please note, off-campus use of MATLAB is restricted to faculty and staff under the MATLAB TAH site license.
