MATLAB: MATLAB Parallel Server activation

Question

Hi, may I know what is the purpose to activate Parallel Server license with a network license server? If I do not want to integrate the Parallel server with network license server, I don't know why I need to fiil in the network license server during the activation. Would you advise?

Thanks,

CY

Answer 1

It's because Parallel Server's license is worker based.

By default, License Manager manages the number of Parallel Server's workers.

The license is independent from that of MATLAB desktop but you can merge both licenses.

If your server is connected with internet and you don't want to manage License Manager, you can choose Online Licensing options.
