MATLAB: Does FlexNET report the licensed products as “Uncounted, node-locked” instead of listing how many licenses are issued

Question

When I check the status of my licenses using lmstat or LMTOOLS, it says the products are "Uncounted, node-locked" instead of reporting how many licenses are issued and in use:

Users of MATLAB: (Uncounted, node-locked)

Users of SIMULINK: (Uncounted, node-locked)

Answer 1

If FlexNET reports the features to be "Uncounted, node-locked", it means that the license file in use is for a standalone license option, not a network license.

To check if a license file is for a network license, open the license file in a text editor. Before the INCREMENT lines, there should be a line that begins with a pound sign (#) and has "LicenseNo" and "HostID". Only network license files (Concurrent and Network Named User) have the "HostID" field on this line.

Standalone license files for R2008a and above are not intended to be used with the network license manager, and will only allow MATLAB to be used on the computer that the file was generated for. To obtain a network license file, please contact your license administrator.
