  2. In the 'Help' menu, click on 'Licensing' > 'Activate Software'
  3. Select the option for activation via the Internet
  4. Restart MATLAB after activation so that the new license file is recognized

Matlab may be installed on all computers at Ulm University of Applied Sciences in unlimited numbers with all toolboxes. Non-commercial research is also included. However, commercial use and paid contract research is not permitted. Special fee-based licenses must be purchased for events with external course participants.

Furthermore, the license allows installations in classrooms and laboratories.
Within the scope of the license, all students, professors and employees may use the software within the university and at home.

Students, professors or employees can download a personal standalone copy of the software for each computer on which they are the sole users (applies to computers at work and at home). To do this, visit the MATLAB portal of Ulm University of Applied Scienceswhere you can download the software and activate the license.

Direct use via remote app (no local installation required): https://remoteapp.hs-ulm.de (no longer possible)
