How do I set up the license manager so that it runs on a heterogeneous network?
A heterogeneous network means you’re running a floating license on, say, both a SUN and a DEC using one license server. You can combine both installations of SUN and DEC MATLAB onto one machine, but we recommend against this since it involves a custom installation. This description assumes that you have a separate DEC area where you will install DEC MATLAB and a separate SUN area where you will install SUN MATLAB. Install MATLAB from the tape onto each machine, using the install option for STANDALONE/SERVER machines. For any client machines of the DEC and SUN, make sure the MATLAB client DEC machines have their matlab command access $MATLAB/bin/matlab on the DEC platform. Likewise, SUN MATLAB client machines should have their matlab command access $MATLAB/bin/matlab on the SUN platform. Decide which machine is the license server. In this example we will consider the DEC machine to be the license server. The DEC license file should contain the DEC lmhostid, the DEC lm_matlab vendor daem
