How to find correct "feature" name for parallel computing toolbox?

18 views (last 30 days)
When using the "license" command, the help documentation specifies the use of a string in "feature" corresponding to the name of the toolbox. We have the Parallel Computing Toolbox installed, but the license command does not recognize feature='Parallel_Toolbox' or Parallel_Computing_Toolbox'. Is there a list of the correct entries for "feature" for all toolboxes?
Thanks.

The easiest way for me is to use the toolbox, then run license('inuse')
Starting parallel pool (parpool) using the 'Processes' profile ...
Connected to parallel pool with 4 workers.
>> license('inuse')
distrib_computing_toolbox
matlab
So after starting a parellel pool, I was able to see the feature name is 'distrib_computing_toolbox'.
If you wanted to test if that specific license was in use, you could do the following:
license('inuse','distrib_computing_toolbox')
