If you're not eligible for a desktop or an online license (for example: you're a visitor or an external collaborator), you can install MATLAB on your laptop and use it staying connected to SISSA network or, if you are at home, to SISSA Remote VPN.

To install MATLAB, or other MathWorks products, on a client computer, you will need the server license file, which is typically named “license.dat” or “network.lic.” The server license file can be identified by the first line, which will start with the directive “SERVER.”

To install offline, you require:

• server license file
• installation files
• File Installation Key.

Decide which version of MATLAB to install and ask to helpdesk@sissa.it the File Installation Key for that MATLAB version.

After obtaining the File Installation Key, you may refer to the following link for instructions on installing on an offline machine:

Note: For installations on a client machine, you are not required to activate, as the network license should already be activate to the license server. You will require the server license file mentioned above to complete the installation.
