As of release R2010a, there is a new activation process for PolySpace products that allow Designated Computer licenses to be activated automatically over the Internet. PolySpace network licenses will follow the same process to set up the licensing. Additionally, PolySpace licenses can be activated without an Internet connection as was true in the past. To activate PolySpace products without an Internet connection, follow the steps below:
This procedure involves 3 steps:
- Obtaining the computer's HostID.
- Activating your license through the License Center on a machine that is connected to the Internet.
- Performing an offline installation and activation using a license file.
To install PolySpace products on a machine that cannot activate over the Internet, follow the steps below:
Obtaining the HostID:
==========
If you already know your computer’s HostID, you can skip this step. You can find your Host ID using the related solution: "What is a Host ID or Machine ID?":
Activating through the License Center:
==========
Once you have the HostID information, you will need to access the License Center through a machine that
has an Internet connection. To access the License Center, you can navigate here:
Once you are in the License Center:
1) Select the row for your License in the list by clicking on it.
2) Once the license loads, click on the "Installation and Activation" tab.
3) Once that tab loads, click on the "Activate" button on the right.
4) Select "I have the HostID" and click Continue. Select your machine's Operating System and enter in the HostID of the machine and press Continue.
5) You can then download the License file for your computer, or have the file emailed. MathWorks recommends downloading the license file as it will be created with the correct formatting.
Completing the activation
==========
If you have not yet installed your PolySpace products, complete the installation following the instructions from the PolySpace Installation Guide. Once installed the activation client will begin. You can Follow these steps in the activation client:
NOTE: If you run the installation in the Host ID retrieval phase, save the license file as a license.dat on the computer, click the Back Button and provide the path to your license file to complete the activation. Otherwise, follow the steps below:
1) Choose the option that you do not have an Internet connection
2) You will be prompted to provide the path to your license file. Save your license file as a license.dat on the computer and provide the path to that file. Press Next to continue.
3) Confirm your activation information on the last screen by clicking the Activate button.
At this point, the activation will complete and you should be able to start your PolySpace products.
