Is it possible that also linux based clients can contact a windows based matlab server?

We are running a matlab license manager under windows. Most clients are also running windows. However there will be some linux based system set up soon. Will they also be able to contact the windows based license manager or will we have to set up a matlab license manager under linux as well?

Thank you!

Yes, Linux based systems are also able to contact Windows based license manager. License manager uses two TCP ports; one is 27000 (by default) for FlexNet and the other is randomly chosen for MLM. You can change these default ports by editing license.dat.

For example, for changing the port of FlexNet from 27000 to 27010, please edit the following line.

SERVER HOST_NAME HOST_ID 27000

to

SERVER HOST_NAME HOST_ID 27010

Also, for changing the random port of MLM to the specified port 27001, please edit the following line.

DAEMON MLM "C:\MATLAB\R2017a\etc\win64\mlm.exe"

to

DAEMON MLM "C:\MATLAB\R2017a\etc\win64\mlm.exe" port=27001

You need to make sure these TCP ports are reachable by Linux based system.
