Duke’s MathWorks license has been renewed, and new installations of the software will expire on September 1, 2014.
Detailed renewal instructions for all versions of MATLAB, including links to license files and PLPs, can be found here: http://oit.duke.edu/comp-print/software/support/matlab.php. Anyone with a standalone installation of version 2008a and newer can renew by launching MATLAB as an administrator and then going to Help -> Update Current Licenses, and clicking Update. Installations pointing to a license server will not be renewed until the server license is renewed.
In addition to the license being renewed, the product offering has been updated. Based on a year-long survey with over 700 respondents from Duke, the 5 least-used toolboxes have been replaced with the 5 most-requested toolboxes.
New products available:
- MATLAB Distributed Computing Server*
- MATLAB Builder NE for Microsoft .NET Framework
- MATLAB Builder JA for Java language
- MATLAB Builder EX for Microsoft Excel
- MATLAB Report Generator
* Distributed computing server is licensed for up to 32 workers (cores) per instance, and is a separate license from the MathWorks TAH license. For access to this product, e-mail OIT Software Licensing.
Products being removed:
- Aerospace Toolbox
- Aerospace Blockset
- Gauges Blockset
- xPC Target
- xPC Target Embedded Option
The license for these items will expire on September 1, 2013. To continue using these products, you may either purchase an individual license directly from the MathWorks for $200 per year per product (xPC products are $500; xPC Target is required for xPC Embedded Option), or add a product back to the campus license for $700 per year each. This is also the case for any standard product not currently on the license.
