How to Install MATLAB 2021
Mount iso-file:
- Mount
Matlab910R2021a_Win64.iso to a virtual disk. For Windows 8 and lower, use
software like Daemon Tools Lite (or similar).
Run setup.exe:
- Run
setup.exe from the virtual disk and select "I have a File
Installation Key" in the "Advanced Options" if you see a
login/password/sign-in form. If internet access is absent, the setup mode
will be autoselected.
Enter File Installation Key:
- Enter
the File Installation Key: 09806-07443-53955-64350-21751-41297.
Select License File:
- Select
license.lic when prompted to "Select License File."
Select Products:
- Choose
components you need; deselect "Matlab Parallel Server" for a
more space-efficient installation.
Select Options:
- Add
a shortcut to the desktop for easy access.
Installation Progress:
- Wait
for the installation to complete. If it takes too long, monitor the
growth size of the installation folder.
Copy Files:
- Copy
"libmwlmgrimpl.dll" to
<matlabfolder>\bin\win64\matlab_startup_plugins\lmgrimpl.
Activate License:
- Copy
"license.lic" to <matlabfolder>\licenses folder.
Alternatively, activate manually without the internet using the
license.lic file.
Create Shortcut:
- If
a desktop shortcut is not created, create a new shortcut for
"<matlabfolder>\bin\win64\MATLAB.exe."
Start Using MATLAB:
- Work
with MATLAB and explore the enhanced features of the 2021 version.
