Starting with R2019b, there is a utility script called "checkLicensing" available inside the MATLABROOT\toolbox\parallel\bin for MATLAB Parallel Server. The utility script performs a license check for MATLAB Parallel Server workers by starting a parallel worker and outputting the version information or any license errors to a logfile.
The recommended usage would be to run the following from a cmd or terminal prompt within your MATLABROOT\toolbox\parallel\bin folder. Be sure to use the -logfile flag to point to directory that you would have permissions for:
Windows
checkLicensing.bat -logfile C:\Temp\parallelLicense.log
For other input flags and usage:
checkLicensing.bat -h
Linux
./checkLicensing -logfile /tmp/parallelLicense.log
For other input flags and usage:
./checkLicensing -h
Below is an example of the output you may see after running ./checkLicensing:
