Hello, I currently have two available licenses: one classroom based on one server and an academic one based on FIK and passcode file. Is it possible to configure my Macbook Pro in order to use both licenses (by generating two links or dedicated alias)?
The best should be to activate automatically the available license (when I am at work and connect to my professionnal network, I want to use the classroom license).
Matlab version 2016b
Macbook Pro mid-2014 with Yosemite

I would like to achieve the "best" behavior you described above. Were you able to achieve that?

Yes it is possible.
First of all, different versions on the same computer do not all have to be registered against the same license, so one of the easiest fixes would be to associate the two licenses with two different MATLAB versions.
But there is a different way involving only a single install: you can create scripts that set the license environment variables. See https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/93105-what-are-the-lm_license_file-and-mlm_license_file-environment-variables-and-how-do-i-set-or-check-fo
