License

To be able to use the MATLAB version of Simian GUI a license file for Simian GUI must be available in a location where it can be found.

The location of the license file is either:

  • On a floating license server, which can be specified by setting the MONKEYPROOF_FLOATING_LICENSE_SERVER environment variable to the address and port (separated by a colon) of the license server.
  • In a custom folder, specified by setting the MONKEYPROOF_LICENSE_FILE_FOLDER environment variable.
  • The default folder, which can be found by running fullfile(settings().matlab.addons.InstallationFolder.ActiveValue, 'Licenses') on the MATLAB command line.

Depending on your license type, it may be necessary to retrieve and/or activate the license the first time the application is started. In that case the license dialog appears, which allows you to specify a product key or activate the license.
