Licensing

Biomedical Informatics and the Imaging Research Center (IRC) recently merged their Matlab licenses, resulting in significant cost saving and an increase in the overall number of floating licenses to share. This move also provides both sets of users with more toolboxes.

We currently have floating licenses for the following toolboxes: Bioinformatics, Curve Fitting, Distributed Computing, Image Processing, Compiler, Neural Networks, Optimization, Signal Processing, Splines, Statistics and Wavelets.

At this time (Jan 2010), have enough licenses to go around to where we have decided to not charge other users at CCHMC to use these licenses.  If at some time usage overcomes available licenses, we will consider applying a very reasonable chargeback.

See the license allocation page for more information. If you have difficulties accessing the licenses, contact Chris Hearn.

Mailing list

If you use Matlab, please sign up for the (low-volume) Matlab users mailing list for licensing updates, new toolboxes and other announcements.

Ways to access Matlab at Cincinnati Children's

There are several options to get started:

• Install Matlab on your desktop computer. Please contact the BMI Help Desk (mention the OS version in the subject line) if you want to explore this option. You will be responsible for installing the occasional updates announced in the mailing list.
  
• Access Matlab on one of our Citrix servers.
• Access Matlab on the Linux cluster (e.g., by using the nx client).
