FAQ

What is MATLAB?
A high level language and interactive programming environment for engineering and science. MATLAB is a product of Mathworks [1]
Which license are we getting?
Total Academic Headcount (TAH) Campus License.
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
Does this license include Simulink?
Yes
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 [2].
How do I obtain a toolbox that is not listed?
faculty and staff can purchase a child license
Who can use this software?
The Campus TAH allows for faculty, staff, and students to use the software.
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).
How do I install this software?
Request an activation key.
Create a Mathworks account using your @uab.edu address if you do not have one already.
Associate to the campus-wide license using your activation key.
Download, install, and activate the MATLAB software.
This is a standalone license and not a network license server license. With a standalone license MATLAB can be used off of the network.
Can MATLAB be installed on a server? (i.e. can I set up a network license server?)
Yes, contact the license administrator for assistance.
Can I activate the software offline?
Yes, contact the license administrator for assistance.
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.
If I have MATLAB already do I need to transition to the TAH license?
No, you can keep your old license.
You may also use your current license until it expires and then switch to the TAH license.
Alternatively, you may opt to "store" the unused portion of the license that is duplicated by the TAH license.
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.
How do I activate a system that is not connected to the network?
Contact the license administrator.
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.

TAH license info

  • mathworks TAH admin guide [6] comprehensive document.
  • description of products [7]
  • brief info sheet [8]

lists of toolkits other universities offer

A selected list of Universities using Mathworks software.

transition

Network concurrent licenses will need to be converted to the new TAH license. The transition will affect 2007b and earlier differently than 2008a (7.6) and later due to the new activation requirement. 2007b and earlier cannot be converted to the new license.

It should be similar to the following:
