Go back to Composer and have it finish the snapshot process.ġ4. This allows multiple accounts on the box to use Matlab successfully.ġ3. This will fix the permissions of the Matlab application, from being owned by the user account that installed it to now being owned by the root user and admin group. (MATLAB_RXXXXX is your Matlab application. Sudo chmod -R ug+rwx /path/to/MATLAB_RXXXXX.app Sudo chown -R root:admin /path/to/MATLAB_RXXXXX.app Open Terminal and run the following commands: When completed, Matlab should be set to run using the license on the server.ġ2.

Direct the installer to this file’s location when requested. Download and save the license.dat file for the Matlab network license to your desktop.ġ0. Specify the installation folder path (I chose /Applications.)ĩ. Specify the installation type (I chose Typical)Ĩ. Enter the File Installation Key (FIK) for the version you wish to install (some information has been redacted.)ħ. Launch the installer and use the Install without using the internet option.Ħ. Launch Jamf Software’s Composer and have it take a snapshot for packaging.Ĥ. Copy the installer directory to your desktop before running the installer.ģ. Find and launch the installer files for the version you require (in this case, I’m building a Matlab 2011b installer.)Ģ. See below the jump for the details.īuilding the Matlab network license installer with Composerġ. After some trial and error, I was able to figure out a way to use Jamf Software’s Composer build a Self Service-deployable installer that uses our network license and also an unlicensed installer. However, a showstopper issue I’ve run into has been that Matlab needs to have a license entered as part of the installation process. Instead, most of our labs purchase standalone licenses and register them to the person using it. The reason I wanted it unlicensed is because, while we have a Matlab network license server, it has a very limited license pool. Since starting to use Casper at my workplace, I’ve wanted to be able to provide a unlicensed Matlab installer via Self Service.
