who can use the matlab compiler?

hi!

I have matlab lisense and now downloading matlab compiler, but as I understand from the steps written on your web page, you have to download the compiler on the computer you have to run your program, then I cant see the reason of using it; I thought that a person who didt have matlab could run my programme on his or her computer . Or is it possible for me who has Matlab to send a compiled file or something to that person so he or she can run the programme?

MATLAB Compiler can be used to convert MATLAB .m (and related) source files into a .exe . The .exe can then be sent to someone who does not have MATLAB to run, and that person will not need any kind of MATLAB license to run the .exe . They will, however, need to download a program known as MCR (MATLAB Component Runtime). They will need one copy of MCR for each different MATLAB release that was used to build an .exe that they use.
