MATLAB: How to switch from the trial version to the full license

licenseMATLAB

Currently I'm using the trial version of matlab, but I've got a new license and I want to activate it. So I chose 'Activate manually without the Internet', and then entered the file path of the license file. Then it said 'Activation is complete'. However, when I open matlab again, it's still the trial version. What else should I do to use matlab on my new license?

Looks like you have the new as well the old (from the trial) license file. See in the \licenses folder. You can open the files in any editor and the one that has an expiration date in it is the one for the trial. Move it somewhere else before deleting in and start MATLAB
