I typed ver and got the above. Do I have all the toolboxes licenses? If not, how to find which licenses I have?

Answer 1

[Paulo Silva]

a=ver;
fprintf('Toolbox Name,License Status (1 is licensed, 0 isnt licensed)\n')
for b=1:numel(a)
    try
        fprintf('%s,%d\n',a(b).Name,license('test',a(b).Name));
    catch
%for some stupid reason it fails in this case
%??? Error using ==> license
%Feature name must be less than 28 characters.
      fprintf('%s,Unknown\n',a(b).Name);
    end
end

I tested this code and it fails for me. I see the reason in the fact that the LICENSE command needs slightly differnt name than VER returns. Example:

license('test','Aerospace Blockset') % always 0

license('test','Aerospace_Blockset') % depends whether you have it...

If you can ask the question "What are all the toolboxes names for use with the LICENSE command, that would be great (and I would respond).

Answer 2

[Walter Roberson]

You appear to have all of those toolboxes installed and matching your Matlab version. Sometimes if you have a toolbox installed but not licensed, ver() can tell you that. Sometimes though, for unknown reasons, it cannot tell. If you are using a shared license then you might not have consistent access to the toolboxes.

Generally, license('test',...) can tell you whether you have access to a given toolbox. I do not know the official names of the toolboxes for this purpose, though.

Answer 3

[Andreas Goser]

Ultimately, only the administrator of your license in your company can tell you. That s for a couple of reasons:

1. As other pointed out, you may have tools legitimally installed, but not licensed.

2. This is a concurrent license. You may have not been included into an eligible user gruop by your administrator.

3. You may are enttitled, but all keys are used by others
