Matlab
Starting from Jan 2001, Mathworks requires the use of license servers to run matlab. To run Matlab properly the license server must be properly installed and be in running state. Our license server for Matlab R2009b runs on graphics. Consult the installation guide for more details on installation. Use the link below to get the license file and installation key for Matlab R2010b.
In March 2006, the Matlab versioning scheme changed. The releases are now labeled with the release year, and releases are done twice a year (thus R2006a, R2006b, R2007a, and so on.) To convert from one scheme to the other, R2006a would have been R15 under the old system. The license tools still refer to version 15 instead of R2006a, however.
In 2008, MathWorks switched to an activation-based installation system. Since we use a central network license server, this does not particularly affect us - primarily, before one needed the personal license password (PLP) for installation. Now one needs the File Installation Key.

To install Matlab, download the user license file and save it on your computer. The installers can be found on the network, at \\gfx\inst\matlab using Samba/Windows file sharing, or on blit or graphics in /p/inst/matlab. You need to copy the installer files you want to your local machine before running them. If you need install disks, feel free to burn your own. Once you start the installation, it will ask you for the file installation key (copy from the first of the 3 links, above), and then a pointer to where on your machine you saved the license.dat file (which you got from the second link above).
