The licenses for Matlab are now being served by a local CDS license server, which should reduce the vulnerability of network interruptions to Caltech in obtaining Matlab licenses. This applies to new matlab sessions started from newly opened shells, existing open Matlab sessions should be unaffected. Also this only applies to Ubuntu workstations at this time. The only change you may see is warning messages on startup referencing non-existing directories in the matlab toolbox path. We have licenses for more packages than are installed, which causes the warnings. This will not affect your ability to use Matlab.
