Use as individual license with personal MathWorks account

The individual license is independent of the license server and the JKU network. A MathWorks account is required to access the installation files in the MathWorks portal. Students can register with MathWorks using their JKU email address (...@students.jku.at) and receive a MathWorks account linked to the JKU license. The email address must be validated annually.

Two ways to get a MathWorks account

  1. Via the registration page in the MathWorks portal.
  2. Via the registration link on the JKU MATLAB Access and Support page. In addition to the registration link, this page also contains a list of available products, tutorials, and further information.

Existing MathWorks accounts are automatically linked to the JKU license when logging into the portal.

Additional MathWorks products

Besides MATLAB, Simulink and the toolboxes, additional products are available:

  • MATLAB Parallel Server: Enables scaling of MATLAB applications on clustered computers and cloud infrastructure. The platform provides an efficient way to process large amounts of data and complex computations and reduce MATLAB application execution time.
  • Polyspace: Static analysis tool used to improve application reliability. Polyspace checks source code for errors and vulnerabilities. The results are clearly presented in a report to support the development of security-critical applications.
  • MATLAB Production Server: Enables integration of MATLAB code into applications. MATLAB Production Server provides a centralized management interface and a secure environment for deploying MATLAB-based applications to organizations.
  • MATLAB App Server: Platform that enables applications to be deployed over the network. Users can then access and run the web apps with a browser without having to install additional software.
  • Roadrunner: Enables testing of autonomous vehicles in various scenarios without the need for extensive physical testing. RoadRunner also provides the ability to evaluate and optimize real-time performance.

If you need any of these products or are missing something, please contact servicedesk@jku.at.

Online use (without local installation)

  • MATLAB Online: Use MATLAB in the browser. Users can access MATLAB toolboxes, editor, and command windows to run scripts. Files can be saved and shared in MATLAB Drive. Use via https://matlab.mathworks.com.
  • MATLAB Mobile: Use MATLAB on a mobile device (smartphone/tablet). Data from sensors can be collected and shared via MATLAB Drive. The app is available for Android and Apple in their respective stores.
  • Simulink Online: Run simulation models in the browser. Complex systems can be modeled using a variety of simulation blocks that can be arranged in an interactive block diagram. Use via https://matlab.mathworks.com.
  • MATLAB Drive: Cloud storage service (20 GB) to store, share, access, and collaborate with data (scripts, functions, ...) online. Use via https://drive.matlab.com/.

Teaching and learning

  • MATLAB Onramp: Overview of MATLAB in 2 hours.
  • Online Training Suite: Collection of interactive online courses on topics such as machine learning, signal processing or statistics. The courses are suitable for anyone interested, regardless of their skill level.
  • MATLAB Live Editor: Interactive MATLAB environment with many tools to create and share documents with code, text, images, and mathematical formulas. Live Editor is used to perform complex data analysis and simulations and to document and present the results in an interactive format.
  • MATLAB Examples: Application examples and collection of free and reusable code.
  • MATLAB Grader: Online platform for creating and managing automatically graded assignments. The platform provides numerous tools for reviewing and assessing learning progress. Students can work on the assignments online and benefit from quick feedback, while instructors save correction time.
  • Videos and webinars
  • MATLAB Spickzettel für Data Science und maschinelles Lernen
