Changing the License Username

I've just installed MATLAB on my computer and when I tried opening it, this message came up.
License checkout failed.
License Manager Error -9
Your username does not match the username in the license file.
To run MATLAB on this computer, you must run the Activation client to reactivate your license.

Diagnostic Information:
Feature: SR_MATLAB
License path: /Users/Melissa/.matlab/R2015b_licenses:/Applications/MATLAB_R2015b.app/licenses/license.dat:/Applications/MATLAB_R2015b.app/licenses/license_Freyas-Mac-3_2456325_R2015b.lic
Licensing error: -9,57.
The software on my computer is set to a name other than my own, is there any way to change the username in the license file?
