MATLAB: Do I see “This cluster requires that your MathWorks account is associated with a MATLAB Distributed Computing Server license that is managed online” when trying to validate the cluster

MATLAB Parallel Server

Why do I see "This cluster requires that your MathWorks account is associated with a MATLAB Distributed Computing Server license that is managed online" when trying to validate my cluster?

Best Answer

When using an MDCS on demand license, you must log in as someone who is listed as a Licensed End User on the license. Administrators will not be able to authenticate with their credentials. If the administrator also needs to use the cluster then they should also be added as a Licensed End User.
For instructions on adding a Licensed End User to a license, see this article:
