Matlab users at U.Va. can now download Matlab product updates directly from the MathWorks website by becoming an "associated user" of U.Va.'s site license. This allows users to obtain upgrades to licensed Matlab toolboxes well before they may be available on CDs distributed by the Research Computing Support at either the Scholars' Lab (234-8800) in Alderman Library, 4th floor or the Research Computing Lab (243-8799) in Clark Hall, Brown Science & Engineering Library.

U.Va. Matlab users who want to associate themselves with our site license will need the following:

• The U.Va. Matlab site license number, available by logging into the ITC licensing database at http://www.web.virginia.edu/rescomp to access Matlab license information, (including the Personal License Password (PLP) and the license.dat file).
• An Access Login account:
  • Go to http://www.mathworks.com and click "create account" in the blue navigation bar at the top of the page. (Or go directly to http://www.mathworks.com/accesslogin/createProfile.do.)
  • Complete and submit the Access Login account form.
    • Be sure to use your UVA email address (e.g., mst3k@virginia.edu) in completing the account form. The email address you provide must end with the at (@) symbol and "virginia.edu". So mst3k@itc.virginia.edu will not work, but mst3k@virginia.edu will work.
    • Under Software Usage, choose "Academic use on University owned computer".
• Association with a license:
  • Log in to http://www.mathworks.com and click "My Account" in the blue navigation bar at the top of the page.
  • In the "My Licenses" section, click "Associate me with a license."
  • Click "License User Contact" and enter our U.Va. license number and an your U.Va. e-mail address. (The U.Va. license number is in the license.dat file downloaded from the ITC Software Licensing Database/Website.)
  • You will be associated within 24 hours.
