MATLAB Installation and Renewal—No Activation Code Needed

MATLAB requires re-activation on a personal PC after July 31, 2022. MATLAB activation no longer requires using an activation code when installing or renewing the software. An identity authentication check is performed through Single Sign-On during installation/activation to limit usage to active students, faculty, and staff. Following the installation and activation process on your computer, you will not be prompted to verify your university account until July 31 of the following year. However, when the license expires, you will be prompted to verify your university account if attempting to re-activate.

Download the MATLAB software and installation instructions at the OIT Software Distribution webpage.

Request help installing MATLAB by contacting the OIT HelpDesk online or calling 865-974-9900 to set up an appointment.
