For installation on machines not having access to IIT D Network (With or without Internet
access)
Step 1
Create a Mathworks account with you IITD email address as username.
(https://in.mathworks.com/mwaccount/register). If you already have a Mathworks account
associated with IITD email, or have successfully created one, goto step 2
Step 2
Use the following link to connect the IITD License to your account
https://in.mathworks.com/licensecenter/total_headcount/73491-19661-47418-43928-29368?

The link will ask you to login to your IITD-Mathworks account if you are not already logged
in. Once logged in, it will associate the IITD License with your account.
Step 3
For installation on any personal machine, the mathworks account can be used. The iso can
be downloaded from the IITD Repository (http://repo.iitd.ac.in/matlab), or from the
mathworks website.
Follow on screen instructions carefull. The setup will ask for the mathworks account while
installing.
