UMIACS has institutional Matlab licenses through UMD that cover Linux, Windows, and macOS. To access them, you have to be using a University owned computer. Please note that only Matlab versions R2020a and newer are supported by the University's license server.

If you would like to install the institutional version of Matlab on a self-supported machine, please contact staff and we can provide you install media.

Linux

Modules are the preferred way to interact with Matlab on UMIACS-supported Linux machines. The Modules page will provide information on adding Matlab into your environment and using it.

Windows

All UMIACS-supported Windows machines should come with a pre-installed version of Matlab. Please contact staff if you would like a later version installed.

macOS

Please contact staff if you would like Matlab installed on a UMIACS-supported macOS machine.

License Information

Campus has a limited number of seats for Matlab itself, as well as the various toolboxes, managed by a cluster of network license servers. As such, you must have network connectivity to be able to use the University's licenses. When calling functions in a toolbox, Matlab will automatically check out a license for that toolbox, making it temporarily unavailable to other users. If, while attempting to use Matlab, you run into a license manager error stating that the maximum number of users for Matlab has been reached, this likely indicates that all of campus' available licenses are in use. To check the number of licenses available for a specific toolbox, please see the below sections:
