MATLAB: Do I have problems with the R2006b installer (for a concurrent license) when pointing to the license file

MATLAB

When trying to install a MATLAB concurrent version and entering the path to the license.dat I receive the following message on R2006a:
There is a ploblem with some or all of the INCREMENT lines in your license file. You will need to make sure all INCREMENT lines in the license.dat file start on a new line before starting the network license manager. [OK]
When hitting 'OK' the installation is completed successfully without further errors messages.
When trying to install R2006b (using the same license file) no error message occurs – the installer only hangs and nothing more happens.

Best Answer

This bug has been fixed in Release 2007b (R2007b). For previous product releases, read below for any possible workarounds:
This error can occur when the DAEMON line in the license.dat file continues on the next line and there is a '\' on the continued line.
The hang no longer happens in R2007a, but the warning message still appears. The warning can be ignored in this case for R2006a and R2007a.
To work around this issue R2006b users can do one of the following things:
1. Put the entire DAEMON line on one line instead of using a line continuation and multiple lines.
2. Comment out the DAEMON line and the continued line before the installation (and then fix the line after installation if installing the license server).
3. Delete the DAEMON line and the continued line before the installation. If doing a client install the DAEMON line is not needed, if doing a server install the line will need to be fixed after installation.
