Here’s a sampling of the add-on products available:
- MATLAB Student
- Bioinformatics Toolbox
- Control System Toolbox
- Curve Fitting Toolbox
- Data Acquisition Toolbox
- Image Processing Toolbox
- Instrument Control Toolbox
- Optimization Toolbox
- Parallel Computing Toolbox
- Signal Processing Toolbox
- Simscape
- Simscape Multibody
- Simulink Control Design
- Stateflow
- Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox
- Symbolic Math Toolbox
Requirements
Commercial use of MathWorks products is not covered by our Campus-Wide License, so if you are using a commercial license, please continue to do so.
Note: If you are currently using an Individual or Designated computer license, you will need to update your license file by signing in with your USD associated Mathworks account.
The process is as follows:
- Open MATLAB (If the license has already expired, the activation client will launch, and you can skip the next step.)
- Navigate to Help Menu > Licensing > 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.
If the activation finishes successfully, it will roll over to the new license file once the old one expires.
