What is happening? The University of Waterloo has renewed our campus-wide license to MATLAB & Simulink. For continued access to MATLAB, you will need to update the license file by September 30, 2023. 

 

What do I need to do? You will need to update the license file by September 30 using the instructions listed below. 

  • How to update the License File in MATLAB (internet connection required): 
    • Go to Help > Licensing > Update Current Licenses 

Note: If the license is for a standalone machine with no internet connection, or the instructions above do not work, follow the instructions to update the license file in the license center. If you use the license server to manage the license file on multiple machines, no action is required.

  • How to update the License File in the License Centre
    • Access the MathWorks License Center here: https://www.mathworks.com/licensecenter/  (log-in required) 
    • Select TAH license 40900993
    • Click on the "Install and Activate" tab below 
    • Click on the Activation Label for the activation you wish to validate 
    • Click on the "Get License File" button. Select to either email or download the license file. 
    • Once downloaded, open MATLAB and go to Help > Licensing > Activate Software 
    • Select to Activate without using the internet 
    • Browse to a copy of the newest license file saved. MATLAB should now run without displaying the "due to expire" message.
