MATLAB 2020b released, license agreement renewal notice

[Anthony Wertz]

I didn’t notice before, but if you click the non-obvious “Licensing updates” link on the MATLAB software page (which goes here https://www.cmu.edu/computing/software/all/matlab/matlab-license-update.html <https://www.cmu.edu/computing/software/all/matlab/matlab-license-update.html>) it tells you how to update. In short, it’s in the help menu: "update current licenses…"

CMU has renewed the licensing agreement with MathWorks and I have MATLAB 2020b running on my laptop including a bunch of toolboxes. Due to the massive size (close to 30GB) it will take me a few weeks to reinstall MATLAB on our servers. If you need it on your laptop just install from MathWorks and use VPN to activate the CMU licensing server. The server is not under my control.
