I am receiving following error while executing MATLAB R2014a. I am using Ubuntu 12.04 LTS and Matlab is provided through our institute.
~$ matlab
License checkout failed.
License Manager Error -96
MATLAB is unable to connect to the license server.
Make sure that the MATLAB client machine can communicate with the hostname listed in the SERVER line
of the license file, and that the port listed in the SERVER line is not blocked by a firewall.
Troubleshoot this issue by visiting:
http://www.mathworks.com/support/lme/R2014a/96

Feature: MATLAB
License path: /home/dharmesh/.matlab/R2014a_licenses:/usr/local/MATLAB/R2014a/licenses/license.dat:/usr/local/MATL

Licensing error: -96,7. System Error: 2

I see you made a comment in the other article. Was your IT department successful?

I think you have followed every step that your home Institute/University admin had asked you to follow except that there is one more small change you got to make. Please go to the support webpage of your home University/Institute and recheck the steps. I think you have missed one of them. You got to locate the hosts file in \etc and add the server ip and name in it. Try doing this and I think it should work just fine. As how the Mathwork support answered to your query, Matlab has to be able to locate the server where the license file is located. Cheers
