There are a few reasons why this error can occur:
1) The DAEMON line in your license.dat file is incorrect or missing.
For license server, the DAEMON line should read:
Windows
---------
DAEMON MLM $MATLAB\etc\win{32|64}\mlm.exe ($MATLAB\flexlm\mlm.exe for releases prior to R2010b on Windows)(where $MATLAB is the MATLAB installation directory)
Linux/Mac
------------------
DAEMON MLM $MATLAB/etc/glnx{86|a64}/MLM(where $MATLAB is the MATLAB installation directory)
(NOTE: prior to R2011a, the DAEMON line on Linux/Mac was "DAEMON MLM $MATLAB/etc/glnx{86|a64}/lm_matlab")
NOTE: Once you have made changes to your license file, be sure to restart the network license manager for these changes to take effect. For more information on how to restart the license manager, see the Related Solution listed below.
2) The SERVER line in the license.dat file on a client does not match the license.dat file on the server.
If you are running MATLAB using a concurrent license and you are on a client machine, make sure the SERVER line in your license.dat file matches that of the license.dat file on your license server.
The license file on the client machine varies depending upon operating system and version. For R2008a and above, the license file is generally called network.lic and is located in $MATLAB\licenses (where $MATLAB is the MATLAB installation directory). For versions prior to R2008a, the license file will generally be the following:
Windows
---------
$MATLAB\bin\win32 (for 32-bit MATLAB) $MATLAB\bin\win64 (for 64-bit MATLAB)Linux/Unix/Mac
------------------
$MATLAB/etc(where $MATLAB is the MATLAB installation directory)
The license.dat file on the server machine is located in:
$MATLABROOT/etc ($MATLAB\flexlm for releases prior to R2010b on Windows)(where $MATLAB is the MATLAB installation directory)
3) The TCP port number used to communicate with the license server is already being used by another application.
For more information on finding an open port, see the Related Solution listed below .
There are three possible reasons the license manager would not be displayed in the Installer's product list:
1. Missing license manager product files
2. Wrong license selected (automatic) or incorrect File Installation Key (manual)
3. Internal MathWorks error
Follow the instructions below to confirm and resolve the cause of this behavior:
1. Confirm license manager product files:
The license manager is included with the MATLAB product archive files. These are included on all Professional MATLAB installation discs and are available for download. If you are installing from downloaded installation files on Unix/Linux/Mac, ensure that you have both the matlab.common file and the matlab.$arch file (where $arch is the appropriate architecture, such as glnx86, glnxa64 or maci).
2. Confirm license selection or FIK
The license manager is only available for installation in conjunction with a network license type. If completing an automatic installation (with the Internet) be sure that you select a network license (Concurrent or Network Named User)when prompted to choose a license file installation. If completing a manual installation (without the Internet) confirm that you are using the correct File Installation Key for your network license.
3. Internal MathWorks error
For a short period of time File Installation Keys were generated without including the appropriate entry for license manager installation. If you suspect this to be the cause, please contact the Installation and Licensing team at the link below:
