I can't understand what is 'Windows user name'.

After completing download the matlab, it says 'One user can use this license. Designate the final user who recieved license. And below it indicates like this :
Windows user name : ( )
What is Windows user name? I think it is not nickname, but I couldn't find it. And I can't run matlab because it says your username is not same as license username. Could somebody give me your hand?

  • The fastest way to get your Login Name is from a Windows Command Prompt:
  • Locate the search field, on Windows 10 this is in the Taskbar
  • Enter "cmd" into the search field and type enter
  • In the Command Prompt, enter the following command:
set username
  • Once you have determined the correct Login Name, use the MATLAB Activation Client and go through the 'Activation' Process again
