A simple problem with STK10

I put a program on Matlab which should open STK and run a scenerio. Now when I refer Matlab to open STK there is an error:

Invoke Error, Dispatch Exception:
Source: AGI.Application.1
Description: You do not have the required license to connect externally to the application.

Error in STKprogram (line 5)
root = app.personality2;

The program is as follows:

app = actxserver('STK.Application');
root = app.personality2;
app.visible=true;

I dont see where the problem is, help would be appreciated.

I work with both MatLab and STK, and have dealt with this exact issue. Your problem is that you don't have the STK Integration Add-On Module.

The STK Integration module is what allows any API to connect and manipulate the root portions of STK. Meaning, if you want to use MatLab to build your scenario objects like satellites, etc., or adjusting time step, or window manipulation, or even setting the Epoch. If you tried to write the same bit of code in C++, C#, JAVA, or Python, you would encounter the same issue.

app = actxserver( 'STK.Application' ); Will work just fine, with any code. But without STK Int(egration), that's as far as you'll get.

I suggest reaching out to AGI, for a trial license.

I don't know what STK is, but it appears you don't have a license to run it, at least not as an ActiveX server. Another case like that is when people have Microsoft Office Starter Edition - you can run office apps just fine standalone, but not as ActiveX servers. Can you run STK by itself?

Thank you for answering! Well STK is a software that simulates satellites in space. Anyway I dont think i'ts that important. To answer your question, acually I can run STK by itself. Maybe like you said I cant refer to it as an ActiveX server, If so, in your opinion how can I refer to STK?

Ask the publisher if it uses ActiveX, and it if does, what it's process name is. If it can't then you're stuck using java robot which would be incredibly tedious.
