Slient installation of MATLAB with a license file

Hi all, thank you for taking the time to read my query.

I am trying to deploy MATLAB at scale. My requirements are that I can sliently install MATLAB with the full toolkit and have it point to our license server automatically. Currently I am at a state where I can deploy the product but not license it, launching will ask for a login / activation. My last attempt a few months ago I had looked into configuring the installer_input.txt file, which points to a pre-staged folder containing license.lic (licensePath=C:\PATHTOLICENSE), and agrees to the license. I also attempted to put our File Instalation Key in this .txt file, but it still seems to ignore any of these values.

My script pre-stages the license file in an accessible directory, then performs the slient install (setup.exe -inputFile installer_input.txt).

Has anyone had success with deploying MATLAB at scale? I have around 100 client upgrades to perform.

Is this a network license, ie Concurrent/NNU?

If so, you need the network.lic and not license.lic (which I assume is the raw file you downloaded from the License Center), since this is an upgrade, you can get the network.lic from the currently-installed MATLAB release (<MATLAB root>/licenses/network.lic) and use it also.

Otherwise, you might want to reach out to MathWorks support and provide the license info, they should be able to provide more detailed instructions.
