How to Update your Matlab License

To keep using MATLAB for another year you will need to update your license file. 

Individual and Campus Licenses: 

1. Open MATLAB (If the license has already expired, the activation client will launch, and you can skip the next step.) 

2. Navigate to Help Menu > Licensing > Activate Software 

3. Choose to Activate using Internet 

4. 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. If the activation finishes successfully, it will roll over to the new license file once the old one expires.
