MATLAB: Can’t I run the network license manager with the stand-alone (USER=name) LINUX license

MATLAB

I am having difficulty running the network license manager with my stand-alone LINUX (USER=name) license.

First, you must make sure that your SERVER line has the correct HOSTID in it. By default, the installer will put the ethernet HOSTID it finds on the machine in the SERVER line. However, the license was generated for a HOSTID of 'USER=name' and this must match with the SERVER line. So, your SERVER line should be in the following format:
 SERVER hostname USER=name 1711
Please also check your /etc/hosts file. Here is a "default" line from /etc/hosts.
 127.0.0.1       localhost
Modifying it to read:
 127.0.0.1       localhost  hostname
where "hostname" is the hostname from your SERVER line, should allow you to use MATLAB when you are not connected to the internet.
