Reactivate Your MATLAB Installations This Summer

MATLAB

Users who installed MATLAB on their local computers will begin seeing a message when they launch their MATLAB software starting on approximately June 30, 2015 reminding them they need to renew/reactivate the software. Once the renewal is paid by the University, they will be able to reactivate their installation. The paperwork has already been submitted to pay the University’s renewal in the next fiscal year.

The software has a 30-day grace period after the official end date of the MATLAB license on August 1. Users who do not reactivate after August 30 will be prompted to reactivate once they launch the program.

The process users will need to follow to reactivate their software can be found on the MATLAB Answers website “how can I update or reactivate my Total Academic Headcount (TAH) license?”

MATLAB and Simulink Training Being Offered Oct. 8 at Wang Center

Please join us for complimentary MATLAB and Simulink seminars open to all faculty, staff, researchers and students on Wednesday, Oct. 8, in the Wang Center. In the morning’s first session, learn how to use MATLAB and Simulink to develop algorithms, visualize and analyze data, and perform numeric computation. The afternoon session will revolve around simple ways to improve and optimize MATLAB code that can boost execution speed by orders of magnitude.

University Purchases Three-Year Site License for MATLAB Software

Mathworks LogoStony Brook University purchased a three-year site license for MATLAB softwareSimulink, and companion toolboxes from Mathworks. The new license agreement began Aug. 1, and covers installation of the software on University-owned computers (including classrooms and labs), as well as home use (one installation on a personal computer per person) for all instructors, students, staff, and researchers.

Please visit the MATLAB software page for instructions on how to obtain the software. Users must create a Mathworks account and activate the software before downloading and installing it on their computers.

Stony Brook University’s campus license includes the following standard MATLAB toolboxes:

  • Bioinformatics Toolbox

  • Control System Toolbox

  • Curve Fitting Toolbox

  • Data Acquisition Toolbox

  • DSP System Toolbox

  • Image Processing Toolbox

  • Instrument Control Toolbox

  • MATLAB

  • Optimization Toolbox

  • Parallel Computing Toolbox

  • Signal Processing Toolbox

  • SimMechanics

  • SimScape

  • Simulink

  • Simulink Control Design

  • Stateflow

  • Statistics Toolbox

  • Symbolic Math Toolbox

Additional toolboxes may be purchased as child licenses of the MATLAB TAH license by contacting Debbi Cohen at Mathworks.

As a service to the Stony Brook community, a MATLAB listserv has been established as a way for users of this software to ask each other questions, develop solutions, and share information. The list is open to all subscribers with @stonybrook.edu and @stonybrookmedicine.edu email addresses.

To subscribe to the list, send an email to listserv@lists.sunysb.edu with the following information in the body:

  • SUBSCRIBE matlab-l FirstName LastName (replace FirstName and LastName with your own full name)

Once you are subscribed to the list, you can post questions to the community by emailing matlab@lists.sunysb.edu

MATLAB will be visiting Stony Brook University in early October to give some presentations on its products and to answer questions from the community. A separate event invitation will be distributed once a date has been scheduled.

For questions about the license agreement and what it entitles you to, please contact DoIT’s Research Technologies team at researchtech@stonybrook.edu. The Client Support Help Desk can assist with technical questions related to downloading, installing, and configuring the software. Client Support can be reached at (631) 632-9800 or by emailing supportteam@stonybrook.edu.
