-If you would like to use MATLAB off campus and still use the EECS license server, you need to setup your computer to forward license requests from MATLAB on your computer
+If you would like to use MATLAB off campus and use the EECS license server, you need to setup your computer to forward license requests to our license server.
-to our license server via a SSH technique called SSH tunneling or you can use York's VPN service.
   * [[matlab-yuvpn]]
+  * [[matlab-ssh-cli]]
-With SSH tunneling, MATLAB license requests are forwarded from your computer's local ports 1726 and 1727 over a secure Internet connection via indigo to port 1726 and 1727 on our
-license server.
-=== Linux / MacOS X ===
-  * Create a new MATLAB license file called localhost.lic in in your home directory. with the following contents.
-  * **Note:** With MATLAB R2017A and newer, if your localhost.lic file has **localhost** on the **SERVER** line, it should be replaced with IP number **127.0.0.1**. Failure to make this change will result in a license error.
-<code=text>
-SERVER 127.0.0.1 000102030405 1726
-USE_SERVER
-</code>
-  * Use the following shell script **''connect-matlab-license-server.sh''** to establish an SSH tunnel connection to the departmental licence server. Save the file in your home directory. //**Be  sure to replace EECS-USERNAME with your EECS username**//
-<code=text>
-#!/bin/sh
-echo Forwarding local ports 1726:1727 to license server
-ssh -2 -N -x -L 1726:licenseserv.eecs.yorku.ca:1726  \
--L 1727:licenseserv.eecs.yorku.ca:1727 EECS-USERNAME@indigo.eecs.yorku.ca
-</code>
-  * Run the script from the command line to create a SSH tunnel
-<code=text>
-chmod 755 connect-matlab-license-server.sh
-./connect-matlab-license-server.sh
-</code>
-When you run the script you will be prompt for a password, enter your EECS account password. You are now connected to the EECS license server.
-  * Start MATLAB, using our SSH tunnel.

-  * **Create new network license files:**
-  * License paths for MATLAB:
-<code="text">
-C:\Program Files\MATLAB\<release>\licenses\network1.lic
-C:\Program Files\MATLAB\<release>\licenses\network2.lic
-</code>
-**Note:** You can rename the existing **network.lic** to **network1.lic**
-**network1.lic contents:**
-  SERVER licenseserv.eecs.yorku.ca 000102030405 1726
-  USE_SERVER

-  * Use batch script connect-matlab-license-server.cmd you just saved to establish a SSH tunnel connection to the departmental licence server.

-PuTTY can be downloaded from [[http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty|http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty ]].
-  * Before you start MATLAB, double click on the connect-matlab-license-server.cmd icon on the desktop. The first time you connect, you will be prompted to save the server key into your local cache. Enter your password when prompted.
-  * **Note:** With this setup you will experience a delay when you launch MATLAB if you are not connected to EECS's wired network.
