Matlab Installation Instructions

INSTALLING MATLAB 2008a

• Navigate to \\achilleos\software\Windows\Mathematics\MatLAB

• Run "setup.exe" in the "Matlab2008a-win32" folder for 32-bit Windows, or the "Matlab2008a-win64" folder for 64-bit.
  • Note: You don't need to mount it, or copy the files like you might for some other installs

• Matlab 2008a now uses a FLK "File License Key" - which is basically just a renamed PLP. In both cases, it just uses it to figure out what you're licensed to install, as there are tons of toolkits, etc.
  • This key is located here: \\achilleos\software\Windows\Mathematics\MatLAB\Licenses\matlab2008a-flk.txt
  • The current key is "00418-05741-12681-23448-02257-40048" for all platforms. If it gets updated, it will be current in the file above.

• The license file to use for all versions of Matlab using the network license is here: \\achilleos\software\Windows\Mathematics\MatLAB\Licenses\matlab-client-license.dat

• You can paste the above URL directly into the box when setup asks for the location. You might need to copy it or use an fqdn in the path if your computer isn't local or doesn't resolve LONI names correctly when on the VPN.

• Install everything to get the desired toolboxes.
