MATLAB Compiler Licensing

Deployed Applications

Before you deploy applications or components to your users, you should be aware of the license conditions. Consult the Deployment Addendum in The MathWorks License Agreement at www.mathworks.com/license for terms and conditions of deployment.

Using MATLAB Compiler Licenses for Development

You can run the MATLAB Compiler from the MATLAB command prompt (MATLAB mode) or the DOS/UNIX prompt (stand-alone mode).

Running the Compiler in MATLAB Mode

When you run the Compiler from "inside" of MATLAB, that is, you run mcc from the MATLAB command prompt, you hold the Compiler license as long as MATLAB remains open. To give up the Compiler license, exit MATLAB.

Running the Compiler in Stand-Alone Mode

If you run the Compiler from a DOS or UNIX prompt, you are running from "outside" of MATLAB. In this case, the Compiler

• Does not require MATLAB to be running on the system where the Compiler is running
• Gives the user a dedicated 30 minute time allotment during which the user has complete ownership over a license to the Compiler

Each time a user requests the Compiler, the user begins a 30 minute time period as the sole owner of the Compiler license. Anytime during the 30 minute segment, if the same user requests the Compiler, the user gets a new 30 minute allotment. When the 30-minute time interval has elapsed, if a different user requests the Compiler, the new user gets the next 30 minute interval.

When a user requests the Compiler and a license is not available, the user receives the message

• Error: Could not check out a Compiler License.
  

This message is given when no licenses are available. As long as licenses are available, the user gets the license and no message is displayed. The best way to guarantee that all MATLAB Compiler users have constant access to the Compiler is to have an adequate supply of licenses for your users.
