MATLAB: What is Parallel Server License Check

Question

What is Parallel Server License Check?

Answer 1

From R2019a there is a utility script called "checkLicensing" available inside the MATLABROOT\toolbox\parallel\bin for MATLAB Parallel Server. The utility script performs a license check for MATLAB Parallel Server workers by starting a parallel worker and outputting the version information or any license errors to a logfile.

The recommended usage would be to run the following from a cmd or terminal prompt within your MATLABROOT\toolbox\parallel\bin folder:

On Windows:

checkLicensing.bat -logfile C:\Temp\parallelLicense.log

For other input flags and usage:

checkLicensing.bat -h

Or on Unix:

./checkLicensing -logfile /tmp/parallelLicense.log

For other input flags and usage:

./checkLicensing -h
