Used Mac Migration Assistant and can't open Matlab

I recently brought over my used base line from my Mac workstation to a new laptop using Apple migration assistant. Matlab throw a license error when I tried to bring it up on the laptop. Is there any way I can activate this copy on my laptop or do I have to do a fresh download of matlab?

Please first verrify your username. After this, reactivate your Matlab on the new Mac.

How? Check this: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/99457-how-do-i-activate-matlab-or-other-mathworks-products

Mac

1. Open Finder.
2. Go to "Applications".
3. Right-click or control-click on the MATLAB application icon. (e.g. MATLAB_R2020b.app)
4. Click on "Show Package Contents".
5. Open "Activate.app"

Afterwards, you can use the same data of Matlab on your new Mac.

Thanks. I had this problem after using the Mac Migration Assistant, and running the "Activate" app fixed it.

Visit https://www.mathworks.com/licensecenter/loader/index?s_cid=mwa-cmlndeli

and deactivate the license against the old machine and add the license against the new one; it should give you the license file to download (I think.)
