Before You Install
File Installation & License Key
Make sure you have obtained the File Installation Key (FIK) & License Key.
If you haven’t already, follow the below instructions to get it.
Fill the Matlab TAH Module registration form online using the below link Students Form Employees Form
After Successful Submission, and after approval of your account from the Administrator side, You will receive two files named “FIK” & “license”, make sure you have these two files at the time of Installation
Macintosh Systems — Get the name and password of the administrator account on your computer. The administrator account is the user account you set up when you configured your Macintosh system; this is not your MathWorks Account. During installation, you must enter this name and password in the Authenticate dialog box, shown below.
Before you run the installer:
Windows Systems — Get the name and password of the administrator account on your computer. The installer modifies the system registry during installation.
Linux Systems — Get the root password. You can install MATLAB software without superuser privileges, however, it limits certain installation options. For example, if you want to setup symbolic links to the matlab command, install product files in a protected folder, or edit the system boot script, you must have superuser status.
Macintosh Systems — Get the name and password of the administrator account on your computer. The administrator account is the user account you set up when you configured your Macintosh system; this is not your MathWorks Account. During installation, you must enter this name and password in the Authenticate dialog box, shown below.
Consider disabling virus-checking software and Internet security applications on your system for the duration of the installation process. These applications can slow down the installation process or cause it to appear unresponsive (or to hang).

Installation of Matlab through network
Go to Start -> Run
type \\10.16.4.96\shares and click on OK
A window will open. All the versions of matlab have been dumped and shared for network access here.
Click on “Matlab-R2015b” folder. Inside this folder you will find the following.
From here copy the “Matlab-R2015b_Windows32 / Matlab-R2015b_Windows64” folder depending on your choice and the file “license.dat” to your machine and then open the Matlab folder. (You can also directly install from the network directory also.)
[Once you copy the “license.dat” file you need not download the file again as given in “Step 7 “. You can skip that part.]
Double click on “setup.exe” and the installation will start.
The next steps are as given below in the installation section.
For MAC OS Installation of Matlab through network
Follow either of the methods below, Terminal or GUI
Through Terminal: Login as superuser into your Mac system and make a directory where you can mount the files. For example
# mkdir /opt/matlab8.6
Now open a terminal. At the prompt type
# mount -t smbfs //guest@10.16.4.96/shares /opt/matlab8.6 (or) # mount -t cifs //guest@10.16.4.96/shares /opt/matlab8.6
OR
Through GUI:Go to finder and press (command + k) or click the option “connect to server”
Type the following”cifs://10.16.4.96/shares” or “smbfs://10.16.4.96/shares” and press enterIn the pop up box, enter “guest” as username as registered user and press enter, password not required.
After successfully mounting, change to Matlab-R2015b directory. You will see four directories, one for linux, one for Mac, one for windows32 and one for windows 64. You will also find a file “license.dat” which you can copy to some other directory (/usr/local maybe) on your machine. In the terminal mode at the hash prompt
# cp license.dat /usr/local/ (please give path to the directory where you want to store this file.)
[Once you copy the “license.dat” file you need not download the file again as given in “Step 7”. You can skip that part.]
Now change directory to “\\10.16.4.96\shares\Matlab-R2015b\Matlab-R2015b_Mac\InstallForMacOSX.app\Contents\MacOS”. Double click on InstallForMacOSX. The installation starts.
The next steps are as given below in the installation section.
For Linux
Installation of Matlab through network
Login as superuser into your linux system and make a directory where you can mount the files.
# mkdir /opt/matlab8.6
# mount -t cifs //10.16.4.96/shares /opt/matlab8.6 -o guest
# cd /opt/matlab8.6/
Now change to that directory. You will see four directories, one for linux, one for Mac, one for windows32 and one for windows 64. You will also find a file “license.dat” which you can copy to some other directory (/usr/local maybe) on your machine. #[opt/matlab8.6]# cp license.dat /usr/local/ (please give path to the directory where you want to store this file.)
[Once you copy the “license.dat” file you need not download the file again as given in “Step 7”. You can skip that part.]
