The University of Manitoba has invested in a campus-wide license for MathWorks Software. This license provides unlimited use of MATLAB and Simulink product families, as well as their companion toolboxes, to all students, faculty, staff, and researchers both on and off campus, on any device.
Key features
Nothing has changed with the current MATLAB version some students are using through their VPN login or by accessing the software in the computer labs on campus. What is new is another way to access MATLAB Online, where you can create an account and download MATLAB applications to any workstation and/or device in any location.
Simply create a MathWorks account, download the product installer and install the program. Here are instructions:
You may now begin using MATLAB.
Yes! The campus-wide license offers access to a number of MathWorks Cloud Solutions, including MATLAB Online and MATLAB Drive:
• MATLAB Online provides access to MATLAB and Simulink from any standard web browser wherever you have internet access – just sign in.
• MATLAB Drive provides a cloud-based storage location for your MATLAB and MATLAB Online files.
Anyone with an account on UM’s new license has access to the MATLAB Onramp, a free two-hour tutorial to get you started with MATLAB. The tutorial covers commonly used features and workflows, allowing you to learn how to use MATLAB’s core functions.
Additional documentation can be found at Getting Started with MATLAB.
• For assistance with installation, contact MathWorks Support or visit the MathWorks Help Center.
