Please use the new documentation url https://docs.rc.uab.edu/ for all Research Computing documentation needs.
As a result of this move, we have deprecated use of this wiki for documentation. We are providing read-only access to the content to facilitate migration of bookmarks and to serve as an historical record. All content updates should be made at the new documentation site. The original wiki will not receive further updates.
Thank you,

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:
- MIT transition info
- GSU new and existing users
- Buffalo student TAH install
How Storage works
Any license (or portion thereof) current on software maintenance service (SMS) can be put in storage provided the product(s) are part of the TAH configuration. During the storage period (up to the term of the agreement), we will not quote SMS for the products that are deemed in storage. Products & Licenses that are not put in storage will continue to receive SMS quotes. You will not incur back maintenance or reinstatement fees if stored licenses are reactivated within 90 days of TAH license expiration.
At the end of each term, you will have the following options:
- Continue with the TAH license; at this point, your stored licenses will continue to be stored on a like-product basis.
- If the TAH is discontinued, stored licenses come out of storage. You can either renew by paying 12 months of SMS from the end of the TAH term or the licenses lapse from the end of the TAH term.
What if I choose not to "Store" my licenses? Then your existing MATLAB licenses will remain as they are now. You can either choose to pay maintenance for your license (in the event that the TAH does not renew the following year); or you can choose to not pay maintenance fees while you have access to the TAH license. Keep in mind that any existing license that has lapsed during the term of the TAH will be subject to back maintenance and reinstatement fees.
If you have any questions about license storage at UAB, please contact the site license working group.
