Regarding Matlab Production server

• Kindly provide information that whether Matlab production server works in internet or in intranet?
• Also can we run client on mobile?
• I installed Matlab R2018a having academic license. as production server comes in setup itself. i do not found production server folder after Matlab R2018 a installation. Kindly provide information.
• If i try to download 30 day trial this information appears 'A MathWorks representative will contact you, typically within one business day.' how can i get production server. kindly provide steps as i am student having Matlab R2018 a academic license.

Students are seldom authorized to install Production Server. Production Server is an enterprise product that would be installed by the administrators of the server.

can i request and download 30 day trial production server and use in academic license

[Walter Roberson]

I doubt that you can. It would probably need to be facility or staff.

MATLAB Production Server can work on either internet or intranet

MATLAB Production Server is for running pre-compiled programs (compiled with MATLAB Compiler SDK), not for running "live" MATLAB, so MATLAB Mobile is not relevant to it.

Because MATLAB Compiler SDK is used, the client can be anything that supports the interface chosen, including possibilities such as a web server that creates image files to send to a client that happens to be using a browser on a smart phone.

Sorry, Production Server is out of my price range (and I have never had a need for it) so I have not tried to install it. It looks as if it has a different installer than regular MATLAB.

Thanks for detailed reply. I have one question. Can the college faculty download matlab production server?

[Walter Roberson]

I think that would depend upon what the license administrator had allowed for them.

[Tim Choo]

MATLAB Production Server is not included in an academic or campus-wide license. As Walter mentioned it is an enterprise product that is generally installed by corporate IT and integrated with organizational systems. In order to obtain a trial, you can fill in a form and a representative will get back to you to assess your requirements. Generally, mobile clients (either native apps written in XCode/Android Studio or hybrid written in Xamarin/Phonegap) call MPS hosted functions through the REST API exposed by MATLAB Production Server. JSON payloads are used to convey the input parameters and output results.

Thanks, Tim!

Thanks Tim Choo and Walter Roberson for detailed explanation and clearing my doubts.
