Adding user to the license list (Error 39)

hi everyone,

pls help me out with this problem. I got Matlab installed on this computer, but I keep gettin the 'user not on the list' err (39). I tried folowing the instructions on this page ( http://www.mathworks.com/support/solutions/en/data/1-1941P/index.html?s_cid=pl_LME39_r2012b) and Matlab and Simulink installation guide for Linux.

Here's what I've tried:

1) added options=$/PATH_TO_MATLAB/glnxa64/MLM.opt, in the network.lic license file, then reactivated Matlab. Nothing changed.

2) I can't find lmstart script anyhere, but I do have the MLM.opt file, which is an executable script. I gave the reading privileges using chmod, but every time I try ./MLM I keep getting the 'no such file' error. So where should I add the INCLUDE MATLAB username then?

Any suggests are massively appreciated.

To use ./MLM you need execute permissions, not read permissions. However,

sh -c ./MLM

would use read permissions.

I did the chmod u+rwx MLM, and I tried your approach. Keep getting the 'not found' message.

[Walter Roberson]

Did you say it is named MLM.opt ? If so then you would need ./MLM.opt

I would not have thought it was an executable file though.

[Alex]

I ran file MLM.opt and it is executable. The problem is, if it s not, how am I supposed to add the INLCUDE username line. According to the manual I have to open this file to perfrom this operation.

[Walter Roberson]

.opt files can be edited.

[Alex]

that's great, but how?

[Alex]

OK, i installed a tool called flex, tried flex MLM, got something totally weird. So what should I do?

Install and licensing support is free of charge ... they should be able to help you out.

[Alex]

Yeah I can ask the people who installed it on my computer, but I'd rather try doing it myself first, with some help from the community.

It would be more efficient to ask the admins or MathWork's technical support instead of member of the community, which are not directly involved.
