I’m trying to execute the program Matlab after downloading it with an academic license. When I start the setup the program says error -147: ERR_ADDRESS_IN_USE and I don’t understand how to solve this. It’s the first time I download it on this computer and the account is new. On the website the program works well.

Hi Daniela,
I understand that you are getting the error ERR_ADDRESS_IN_USE when trying to run a program in MATLAB.
The error "ERR_ADDRESS_IN_USE" indicates that the network port the browser is trying to bind to is already being used by another application. This is a common issue when multiple processes compete for the same port.
You can take the following steps to resolve the issue:
  • Identify the process using the port
Assuming you are on Windows, you can use the netstat command to list all the ports and processes using them. Then, use Task Manager to identify the process.
>> netstat -a -b -n
[chrome.exe]
UDP [::]:5355 *:*
Dnscache
[svchost.exe]
UDP [::]:49351 *:*
To find a process using port 1900, use the following command:
netstat -a -n -o | findstr :1900
You can terminate the identified process if not needed. Otherwise, you can change the process port if it is required to run the process.
I hope it helps.
