Dear Matlab community,

The 2009 Matlab site license has been finalized. This year the license includes the Symbolic Math Toolbox as well as
SymBiology Toolbox. These are effective with the 2008b release.

If you are a system administrator, you should have received an email yesterday. If you did not, please email me and
I'll send you instructions for installing on a server.

If you use a PowerPC, please note that Mathworks discontinued support for that platform with the 2008a release. I
have requested 2007b codes that will last until Dec 1, 2009 (same expiration as our site license), but have not
received them yet. Please email me if you use a PowerPC and I'll send you instructions when I get the codes.

For those who are familiar with the process of downloading, installing, and activating, here is the relevant information:

License: 361635
Release: 2008b
Activation Key: 03529-67108-00587-96752-37727
File Installation Key: 64447-03840-40147-40821-17530-14551-64035-11702-16495-35112-64790-47588

Here are complete instructions for those who need them:

R2008b is here and along with is MathWorks new Activation System. Here's what you need to know:
1) If you are an end user installing it on one or more of your own machines (not a server); read below for instructions.
2) If you are a system administrator and need to install Matlab on one or more servers, email me. I need to configure
the system with your information (name, email address, department, title, campus box, phone number, and fax
number) and then I'll send you separate instructions on activation.

For those who fall in category 1 above:

In order to activate the license, the License End User must:
-Have a MathWorks account (name = email address) and the email address must end in the domain @colorado.edu
-The account must be set for the purpose of "Academic Use"
-Please enter your department even though it is not a required field
During the installation, the user is prompt to create a MathWorks account and specify the purpose. At some point
during the installation, the License End User will need to associate to the license. If the user has the installation
software and they are performing an installation with Internet access, they can perform the association through the
installer. The Installer will prompt the user to take all the necessary steps. Otherwise, the user will need to go to the
MathWorks website and associate an account to the license.

You now have permission to download your MathWorks products for License 361635 directly from the MathWorks
Web site.
To get started, simply follow the two steps below.

Stay current with the latest product versions by updating at your convenience. You can also download trial versions of
other MathWorks products.
