Need to download MATLAB 2008b onto my existing computer but no more activations exist for my license
Show older comments
My company (MITRE) has implemented CyberArk security that prevents me from accessing MATLAB on my C: drive. I needed to transfer MATLAB over to my personal folder but inorder to do this, I had to uninstall MATLAB. Unfortunately, when I try to reinstall MATLAB 2008b, it says I have no further activations on the license. This is the same computer that I have been using -- I have not changed computers. I needed a similar license refresh a couple of years ago when a security breach resulted in scrubing the disk, prompting me to reinstall all of my former software including MATLAB. Please advise -- I really rely on this software for my work.
Thank you

Login to your Mathworks account on the web. Drill down until you see what computers are activated for your license. Tell it to delete the one(s) you don't want activated.
