MATLAB: Do I get an error `GLIBCXX_3.4.20 not found’ when starting the network license manager on Linux for R2020a

Why do I receive the following errors in the debug log when starting the Network License Manager on R2020a on a Linux Machine?
MLM: /lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.20' not found (required by MLM)
MLM: /lib64/libstdc++.so.6: version `GLIBCXX_3.4.21' not found (required by MLM)

Best Answer

When installing the Network License Manager on a Linux machine using the R2020a MathWorks Installer, the sys folder is not provided in the installation. If the Linux distribution does not have the required libraries, the License Manager will not start.
As a workaround, you may either perform a manual installation of the Network License Manager or obtain the sys folder from the License Manager binaries.
The license manager binaries can be downloaded here:
