General Questions

Do I need to update my license file?

Once each year, all MATLAB TAH licenses must be reactivated online in order to continue running MATLAB under YorkU’s site license. Current YorkU students, faculty, and staff only are eligible to update the license file(s) for their Individual license(s).

Lab managers may need to transition their Campus licenses to the Concurrent license model. UIT staff are updating YorkU’s main Concurrent license.

How do I get an Individual stand-alone TAH license?

All current YorkU students, faculty, and staff are eligible to get MATLAB for each of the computers they personally use (home and office). Create a MathWorks Account at the MathWorks YorkU Portal, login, download the software, install the software, and activate the license.
