I had already downloaded and installed MATLAB 2010b at NYU, so coming out here to ETH I didn't want to bother reinstalling everything. I also didn't want to have to VPN to NYU every time I wanted to use MATLAB. So instead I just switched my network license file to point to the ETH license server instead of the NYU one. This so far has worked out great. First thing I did was go the license directory in the matlab folder:
cd /Applications/MATLAB_R2010b.app/licenses/
Then I backed up my NYU license file:
mv network.lic network.lic.nyu
I downloaded the
ETH license file, which is bizarrely named license.dat.mpg. Finally, I just moved this file to the proper place (current directory is the matlab license directory) with the proper name:
mv ~/Downloads/license.dat.mpg network.lic
