Standalone MATLAB in OS X

As of Version 7.1 the process for getting a standalone license (which does not require the EPFL network license server) has changed. This installation process for R14S3 (7.1) is as follows:

Install the Network License Version

Install the standard network version. The installation package is available on the Cyclope apple file server: afp://cyclope.epfl.ch/Cyclope/Applications/Mathematiques/Matlab/

Obtain A Standalone License File

As of version 7.1, EPFL has a TAH (Total Academic Head Count) license from MathWorks, you can get your own license.dat. Choose the link that corresponds to the version of MATLAB you have installed (requires GASPAR authentication):

For MATLAB 7.1 (R14SP3) http://decwww.epfl.ch/matlab/tah.cgi
For MATLAB 7.2 (R2006a) http://decwww.epfl.ch/matlab/tah72.cgi
For MATLAB 7.3 (R2006b) http://decwww.epfl.ch/matlab/tah73.cgi
For MATLAB 7.4 (R2007a) http://decwww.epfl.ch/matlab/tah74.cgi

Place the Licence in your Matlab Directory

First, save your original, network based, license file. Rename /Applications/MATLAB71/etc/license.dat to license_network_bak.dat.

Then place the licence.dat you obtained from the obove webpage into this etc directory.

Launch the Matlab Application

There is no need for the Launch_LM local license server launcher as for previous standalone versions.
