MATLAB: Do I get “You are not permitted to use this license” when trying to access the University license

When I try to link my MathWorks Account to a license, or install and activate MATLAB I receive the error "You are not permitted to use this license" after inputting my University log-in credentials.

Best Answer

This error occurs when your University has not listed you as being a valid user within the University's Shibboleth system.
You must have any eduPersonScopedAffiliation value of the following:
  • Faculty
  • Staff
  • Student
  • Employee
Please contact your University to have your eduPersonScopedAffiliation attribute adjusted to include one of those values.
