OIT has obtained the new Total Headcount site license for MATLAB, and it is now available for free to currentfaculty, staff, and students (guests, including retirees & emeriti, are also eligible but they must request an account - see the FAQs below). MATLAB is not available to applicants, former students, or alumni. Alumni will lose access to the license one year after their date of graduation, when they are converted from active students to former students. Students who are not enrolled in classes for two consecutive quarters are converted to former students and will lose access as well.

In the next window select Yes, export the private key and click Next. Leave the default settings selected and click Next.
The new site license comes with every toolbox offered by Mathworks (currently there are more than 90 available), as well as access to Simulink and other add-on products. In addition, the license includes access to the MATLAB Academy for online training and free technical support from Mathworks through our new UCI MATLAB Portal.
Please take a few minutes to review the following information carefully before attempting to access the portal, as there are steps required by everyone currently using MATLAB to take advantage of the new license.
The new Total Headcount site license actually contains 5 'child' licenses:
- Individual - formerly known as the 'Standalone' license. This is the main single-user license that all active employees & students will use going forward. It allows you to use MATLAB without having to check out a license from our campus license server. Engineering students who have the old TSH (Total Student Headcount) license will use the Individual license going forward. A license will be assigned to you upon the first time you sign in to the UCI MATLAB Portal. Every 12 months, you'll receive a prompt in MATLAB to verify your eligibility, and you'll have to login with your UCInetID and password to continue using the license. This license comes with every toolbox offered by Mathworks now and in the future.
- Concurrent - formerly known as the 'Network' license. This was a popular option for faculty & researchers because it allowed them to connect to our license server and 'check out' licenses for a number of toolboxes. This license will now ONLY be used by instructional labs and classrooms. This license comes with every toolbox offered by Mathworks now and in the future.
- Polyspace - this is a new license that allows you to run the Polyspace Bug Finder and Code Prover products. Polyspace allows you to verify your code and highlight its defects, as well as run exhaustive testing to ensure the absence of run-time errors. OIT will have to manually assign this license to you. Consult the FAQ below for guidance on how to request this.
- MATLAB Parallel Server - this is another new license that will grant you access to the MATLAB Parallel Server product, which will allow you to run computationally-intensive MATLAB programs and Simulink models on clusters, as well as run batch jobs remotely so you can use your machine for something else. OIT will have to manually assign this license to you. Consult the FAQ below for guidance on how to request this.
If you already have MATLAB installed AND you want to install additional toolboxes: you will need to sign in to the UCI MATLAB Portal, download the MATLAB installer, and reactivate MATLAB to convert your current license to the new Individual license. The instructions below under the heading 'How to get the new MATLAB installer' will guide you through downloading the MATLAB installer to install any additional toolboxes you'd like AND to convert your license.
If you already have MATLAB installed but you do NOT want to install additional toolboxes at this time: you still need to login to the UCI MATLAB Portal at least once. This process will confirm your eligibility and associate your UCInetID & Mathworks account to our pool of licenses. At that point you can then reactivate MATLAB and convert your license to the Individual license without having to download or reinstall anything. The instructions below under the heading 'Converting your existing license to the new MATLAB Individual license (without installing additional products)' will guide you through the process. You can always download and re-run the installer to add additional toolboxes at a future date that's convenient to you. NOTE: Another way to install select toolboxes later is through MATLAB's Add-On Explorer, which is their 'app store'. You can browse and search for products/add-ons for free from Mathworks and their online community. While this approach is good, it might be easier for some users to just download the MATLAB installer which comes with all of the toolboxes for you to choose from. See the FAQ at the bottom to learn how to access the Add-On Explorer.
If you are a CSC that manages an instructional lab or classrooms: OIT has replaced the existing Classroom Network license on the campus license server with the new Total Headcount Concurrent license. We will forward you the new File Installation Key & license file before the end of the fall quarter. If you decide you want to install all the new toolboxes, you can do so at a later date that's convenient for you. OIT will most likely wait until Summer 2020 to install the new toolboxes in our instructional labs & classrooms, which is the normal 'refresh' cycle when all of our lab machines are updated, although exceptions may be made sooner. The Instructional Lab Services team will work with instructors who need the new toolboxes installed before then.
