Platform and License

Use other platforms and query computer, license, and product version

The primary functions for finding information about installed MathWorks® products are:

  • ver — MATLAB® license number, version numbers, and release names for all installed products

  • matlabRelease — MATLAB release name (since R2020b)

  • license — MATLAB license number, with options to list available or checked out licenses

If you do not have MATLAB installed and need information about your license, visit License Center.
