Matlab can be installed on your work computer (providing it is a Windows PC) via the Software Center. This is a self-install service whereby you are able to install certain applications yourself. Using this process Matlab will be activated automatically.

Apple users will need to follow the personally owned device instructions below.

For home use

To obtain a MatLab standalone license

Download the installer:

  1. Create and Register your MathWorksAccount 
  2. Go to: http://mathworks.com/downloads/web_downloads/select_release
  3. Click the download button for the current release.
  4. Click the installer button to download the installer.

Install and Activate

  1. Locate the installer you downloaded in a file browser. It should be located in the default download location, unless you specified another location.
