MathWorks advises that you upgrade your Network License Manager software to the latest version as it is released with MATLAB software. Using the latest Network License Manager provides the most up to date bug fixes and is the best supported configuration.
Although this is not mandatory for all releases, there are scenarios where an older license manager will be unable to correctly host a newer license file, either failing to allow newer releases of MATLAB to checkout a license, or causing the license manager to not provide license seats to MATLAB clients correctly.
