MATLAB will expire error message
If you are receiving an error message to say MATLAB will expire please follow the below:
- Open MATLAB (If the license has already expired the activation client will launch and you can skip the next step).
- Navigate to the Help menu and select Licensing.
- Click Activate Software.
- Choose to Activate using Internet.
- Once reactivated you will need to restart MATLAB before the new license file is recognized. If the installation has already expired, you will be prompted to activate when attempting to launch MATLAB. As long as the activation finishes successfully it will roll over to the new license file once the old one expires. You may continue to see the expiration warning in MATLAB until the old file expires.
