Download the Installer

2. Go to the License Center: mathworks.com/licensecenter.

3. Click Associate License in the upper right hand corner.

4. When prompted, enter the Activation Key: 10880-35554-30037-74313-21544.

Install and Activate

1. Locate the installer you downloaded. It should be located in the default download location, unless another location was chosen. The name of the installer file is:

   • Windows: Double-click the installer file you downloaded in the previous step. The Windows Self-Extractor runs, and then the installer starts.
