Matlab at SFU
Matlab from Mathworks Inc. has been site licensed for use at SFU, including a large number of toolboxes. See the list here.
Installation for on-campus SFU computers
The software is available for installation on any SFU computer on any of the SFU campuses. This includes desktops in people's offices and machines in labs. Installation instructions are available here.
Installation for Off Campus and Personal Computers for Faculty and Researchers
The software may also be installed on the computers of current SFU Faculty and current SFU Researchers, as well as staff members in academic departments, including their own personal machines. Note that many graduate students may be considered researchers under the terms of the license agreement and so the software may be available to them as well.
Installation instructions are available here.
Current SFU Faculty status will be determined by the "faculty" role set in the Human Resources system.
Current SFU Researcher status will be determined by the faculty member they're working with. Faculty members can use this web form to add the SFU Computing IDs of users that are valid researchers to a list that will be checked when the users apply to get the Matlab activation key.
Current Staff Members in an Academic Department status will be determined by senior departmental IT support staff, who can use this web form to add the SFU Computing IDs of these users to a list that will be checked when staff members apply to get the Matlab activation key.
