Activating the Student License
Notice the message in the picture above telling us that we have just 30 days to "activate" our license. If you are using the Student version of MATLAB you will probably see this. To use the product beyond 30 days you'll have to furnish The Mathworks with evidence that you are, in fact, a registered student somewhere.
Instructions for how to do this are located here.
Self-Test
- Have you successfully started the MATLAB program?
- Did you activate your copy of MATLAB? If not, please do so!
