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.
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.
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.
Our peer research universities generally have TAH and DCS licenses, but UAB will be first Alabama university to implement a TAH license.
how to install the software
short version
- 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, so MATLAB can be used off of the network.
