-==== EECS Graduate Students and Faculty Licensing Information ====
-  * MATLAB licenses and toolboxes will only work from EECS subnets unless you use SSH tunnelling to connect to our license server.
-  * Researchers that require MATLAB additional toolboxes for their own research should contact tech for pricing.
-===== Products =====
-We are licensed for the same products as the York University Site-wide Licensing Program. While MATLAB is a multi-platform product not all Toolboxes are available on all platforms.
-For the list of products licensed, please see [[https://matlab.info.yorku.ca/products/|MATLAB Products]]
-===== Installation Instructions =====
-==== Before You Install  ====
-Before you can begin to install MATLAB you will need the following.
-  - MATLAB ISO/DMG file (As of R2016b the MATLAB installer is split across two ISO files for Windows and Linux)
-  - MATLAB license file
-  - File Installation Key
-**Note:** Consider disabling virus-checking software and Internet security applications on your system for the duration of the installation process. These applications can slow down the installation process or cause it to appear unresponsive or to hang.

-==== MATLAB License File & File Installation Key ====
-Installation of MATLAB requires a File Installation Key and a license file. For the sake of simplicity we have embedded the File Installation Key in the license file. Simply view the license file with any text editor to obtain the key. You can download the license file at this hyperlink [[https://www.eecs.yorku.ca/software/matlab|Download Matlab License file and File Installation Key ]]
-==== Mounting an ISO file ====
-=== Windows ===
-  * Windows 7: Requires additional third party software
-    * Download [[http://www.slysoft.com/en/download.html|Virtual Clone Drive]] and follow the instructions on mounting ISO files
-  * Windows 8, 8.1 and 10: Native support, mounts a ISO file without any third party software
-      - Navigate to the location where you downloaded the ISO file.
-      - Right-click on the ISO file and then select Mount to mount it.
-=== macOS ===
-  * Usually ISO/DMG files are opened automatically when you double click them in Finder
-  * You can also mount ISO images in Mac OS X by using **Disk Utility**, located in the /Applications/Utilities/ directory. After you launched Disk Utility, navigate from the Disk Utility menu down to "Open Image File" and select your ISO file. The ISO should now appear mounted on the desktop.
-  * Command Line:
-<code=text>
-cd ~/Desktop
-hdiutil mount R2016a_maci64.iso
-or
-hdiutil attach R2018a_maci64.dmg
-</code>
-=== Linux ===
-  * Ubuntu’s Unity desktop and GNOME include an **Disk Image Mounter** application that can mount ISO files and similar image files graphically. To use it, right-click an .ISO file or another type of disc image, point to Open With, and select **Disk Image Mounter**.
-  * Command Line:
-  * Open a terminal window
-  * Create a new directory for your ISO image.
-     sudo mkdir /media/iso
-  * Now mount the ISO image
-  sudo mount -o loop R2019a_Linux.iso /media/iso
-  * To unmount the file, use this command in a terminal window
-  sudo umount /media/iso
-  rmdir /media/iso
