Installation--Lab Computers:

Windows 2000:

  1. Get PLP and CD from Professor Shattuck.
  2. Insert CD and follow instructions.
  3. The license file is in the root directory of the CD, or you can download this file: [matlab.zip] which contains 3 files:
    1. A new license file: put it in \MATLAB7\bin\win32. (For lab setup you only need the license file.)
    2. putty.exe: ssh client with port forwarding.
    3. matlab.reg: registry setup for putty.
  4. If upgrading, copy contents of old work directory (usually \matlabX.X\work) to the new work directory.

Linux: Contact Professor Shattuck.
