UMIACS has Matlab licenses that cover Linux, Windows and Mac. To access them you have to be using a university owned computer. If you would like to run Matlab on a machine that is not University-owned, you can check the pricing through OIT/SLIC here
Linux
Below are the different versions of Matlab across our supported linux workstations and servers. The one in bold is our latest version. For more information, please see this page.
Modules is the preferred way to interact with Matlab and the page will provide information on adding Matlab into your environment and using it.
RHEL6,7/Ubuntu
- /opt/common/matlab-r2007b
- /opt/common/matlab-r2008a
- /opt/common/matlab-r2008b
- /opt/common/matlab-r2009b
- /opt/common/matlab-r2010a
- /opt/common/matlab-r2010b
- /opt/common/matlab-r2011a
- /opt/common/matlab-r2011b
- /opt/common/matlab-r2012a
- /opt/common/matlab-r2012b
- /opt/common/matlab-r2013a
- /opt/common/matlab-r2013b
- /opt/common/matlab-r2014a
- /opt/common/matlab-r2014b
- /opt/common/matlab-r2015a
Windows
Below are the different locations of Matlab available for university-owned machines running Windows. The one in bold is the latest version we have available:
- Matlab r2007a
- Matlab r2007b
- Matlab r2008a
- Matlab r2008b
- Matlab r2009a
- Matlab r2009b
- Matlab r2010a
- Matlab r2010b
- Matlab r2011a
- Matlab r2011b
- Matlab r2012a
- Matlab r2012b
- Matlab r2013a
- Matlab r2013b
- Matlab r2014a
- Matlab r2014b
- Matlab r2015a
- Matlab r2016a
macOS
Below are the different locations of Matlab available for university-owned machines running macOS. We expect that all versions should run on macOS 10.8 and newer. The one in bold is the latest version we have available:
- Matlab r2008a
- Matlab r2008b
- Matlab r2009b
- Matlab r2010a
- Matlab r2010b
- Matlab r2011b
- Matlab r2012a
- Matlab r2012b
- Matlab r2013a (macOS 10.8+)
- Matlab r2013b (macOS 10.8+)
License Troubleshooting
Campus has a limited number of seats for Matlab itself, as well as the various toolboxes. When calling functions in a toolbox, Matlab will automatically check out a license, making it temporarily unavailable to other users. Sometimes it's necessary to check the number of toolbox licenses available.
Windows License Troubleshooting
On Windows machines, the necessary command is as follows. Please note that you may need to adjust the path to reflect the available Matlab versions and the installation path. Additionally, this assumes that you are using a 64-bit version. "win64" needs to be adjusted to "win32" on a 32-bit installation:
$MATLAB_PATH\etc\win64\lmutil lmstat -c "$MATLAB_PATH\licenses\network.lic" -f $TOOLBOX_SHORTNAME
As an example, here is how to query Matlab r2012b on a 64-bit Windows 7 host for the Aerospace Blockset Toolbox:
"C:\Program Files\matlab\r2012b\etc\win64\lmutil.exe" lmstat -c "C:\Program Files\matlab\r2012b\licenses\network.lic" -f Aerospace_Blockset
Unix License Troubleshooting
On Unix machines, the necessary command is as follows. Please note that you may need to adjust the path to reflect the available Matlab versions and the installation path. Additionally, this assumes that you are using a 64-bit version. "glnxa64" needs to adjusted to "glnx86" on a 32-bit installation::
$MATLAB_PATH/etc/glnxa64/lmutil lmstat -c $MATLAB_PATH/licenses/network.lic -f $TOOLBOX_SHORTNAME
As an example, here is how to query Matlab r2010b on our 64-bit RHEL6/RHEL7 hosts for the Parallel Computing Toolbox:
/opt/common/matlab-r2015a/etc/glnxa64/lmutil lmstat -c /opt/common/matlab-r2015a/licenses/network.lic -f Video_and_Image_Blockset
Toolbox Shortnames
The toolbox names themselves don't always work with this command; Rather, Matlab has a set of shortnames which can be passed to the lmstat command. The following are all the valid shortnames:
Aerospace_Blockset Aerospace_Toolbox Bioinformatics_Toolbox Communication_Blocks Communication_Toolbox Compiler Control_Toolbox Curve_Fitting_Toolbox Data_Acq_Toolbox Database_Toolbox Datafeed_Toolbox Distrib_Computing_Toolbox Econometrics_Toolbox Excel_Link Fin_Derivatives_Toolbox Financial_Toolbox Fixed_Income_Toolbox Fixed_Point_Toolbox GADS_Toolbox Identification_Toolbox Image_Acquisition_Toolbox Image_Toolbox Instr_Control_Toolbox MAP_Toolbox MATLAB MATLAB_Builder_for_Java MATLAB_Coder MATLAB_Excel_Builder MATLAB_Report_Gen MPC_Toolbox Neural_Network_Toolbox Optimization_Toolbox PDE_Toolbox Real-Time_Workshop Robust_Toolbox Signal_Blocks Signal_Toolbox SimMechanics Simscape SIMULINK Simulink_Control_Design Stateflow Stateflow_Coder Statistics_Toolbox Symbolic_Toolbox Video_and_Image_Blockset Virtual_Reality_Toolbox Wavelet_Toolbox
If you are having problems, feel free to contact UMIACS Staff, however please note that the Matlab license servers are hosted by campus' Division of Information Technology.
Matlab Customizations
You can tweak your Matlab experience using a file "startup.m". If this file is present in the current working directory where you launch Matlab, it will be executed. You can perform a variety of tasks using this file. These include (but are not limited to) customizing the window environment, setting variables for later use, and enabling use of 3rd party toolboxes. Alternatively, you can use the userpath env variable to set a path other than the current working directory for startup and 3rd party toolbox locations. Please see the following links for more information:
