Matlab - Student Version (no cost)

Matlab is available for students to install on personally-owned laptops.

The Matlab Student license allows students to install MathWorks software on


personally-owned computers. The campus student license was paid for using funds from
student E-Tech fees. Please see OIT's Matlab page for purchase information on
University-owned computers.

Matlab license expires annually and there is no renewal process. To continue


using Matlab, uninstall it and then download and install the current version.

Students: Install and Activate

1) Locate the installer you downloaded in a file browser. It should be located in the
default download location, unless you specified another location.
The name of the installer file is (where <release> represents the release number):

 Windows: matlab_<release>_win64.exe
 Mac OS X: matlab_<release>_maci64.zip
o Mac users: By default Macs prevent installation of "unsigned" software.
o You need to change security settings to allow the Matlab installer.

2) Start the installer:

 Windows:
o Double-click the installer file you downloaded in the previous step.
o The Windows Self-Extractor runs, and then the installer starts.
 Mac OS X:
o Double-click the installer file you downloaded in the previous step.
o This action extracts the files and creates another folder called
 matlab_<release>_maci64
 where <release> represents the release number.
o Inside this folder, double-clik
 installForMacOSX to start the installer.

3) Now activate your installed version of Matlab. You must be connected to the
internet throughout the installation.

 In the MathWorks installer, select Log in with a MathWorks Account and follow the online
instructions
4) Agree to the terms of the license agreement.
5) Log in to your MathWorks Account with the account you created earlier.

6) Click select a license and make sure it the right license you want associated with MatLab. For the
student license it would be License 980328.
7) Now choose where you want MatLab to be installed. It will default to the drive your operating
system is on, which works as long as there's space.

8) If this window pops up because you didn't specify a specific folder, use their
recommendation.

9) Select the products you want installed, typically you'll install all the default checked ones so just
leave it as is.
10) Select if you want the shortcut icon to be on your desktop or Start menu.

o Confirm installation by clicking install


11) Wait for the long installation. It might take up to 30 minutes.

o When prompted, check that the box is ticked for Activate Matlab. Then click Next until
you reach "Windows User Name:" field.
12) MatLab will by default fill the field with the name of the Windows account that is currently
using the computer. Don't change this field or MatLab won't launch correctly. Click Next.

13) Now you've reached the confirmation page. Click confirm.


14) Finally! Click Finish and MatLab is now officially installed.

Frequently asked questions


Q. When I open the installer my File Installation Key does not work.

A. Make sure that when you are prompted to either log in with a MathWorks Account
or Use a File Installation Key, choose to sign in with your MathWorks Account.
Q. How do I add a toolbox package I need?

A. For the Student version (available on this webpage), students are not allowed to purchase or
add any additional toolboxes. Furthermore, we cannot purchase individual toolboxes for single users. Thirdly,
users cannot add toolboxes even at their own expense to the UCI student version of Matlab.

Here are your options if you need a particular toolbox not offered with the Student Mablab software:

1) Your options are to uninstall the UCI Matlab student version and then purchase the student version at
the Mathworks website for $99 and then add your toolbox during the purchase.

OR

2) You can use the research version available from OIT. However, you need a KFS
account number obtained from your PI or purchasing office. Unfortunately this option is
not available to most undergrad students.

OIT Matlab information:


https://www.oit.uci.edu/help/research-software/

From there follow the link and log into "license.eng.uci.edu" with your UCINetID and
click Research Software, then Matlab for Faculty and Staff.

On this page you’ll see the purchase form and pricing, $100 annually for the network
license. This is what most UCI Campus researchers use. From off campus or using UCI
