Configure the License Manager

You configure the license manager in different ways, depending on which platform you are installing:

On Windows Systems

MathWorks recommends configuring the license manager service. This provides automatic startup at system boot time and centralizes administration of the license manager through the Windows Services control panel. To review the default license manager configuration settings, click View Default Settings. If you choose not to configure the license manager service, you can do it later.

On Macintosh Systems

To add an entry for the license manager to your system Startup Items folder, leave the option selected and click Next. Specify the user name that will own the license manager process. For security reasons, this name cannot be root.
