Is there a way I can check what type of license I am running ("Individual", "Designated Computer", "Standard", "Academic" etc...) either from the Matlab command line or by looking somewhere in the installation folder?

resources/MATLAB/en/branding.xml contains the various strings that are output in the window title and the initial introduction.
I do not know as yet how one particular string gets chosen for output.
bin/maci64/matlab_startup_plugins/lmgrimpl/libmwlmgrimpl.dylib refers to the file. "grimpl" probably refers to "graphics implementation".

Matt, I wonder what the use case is here. Maybe this helps to come up with a individualized solution for you. Are there end users with access to different MATLAB license types?

Matt,
Total Academic Headcount licenses have that restriction. Look at the license terms under Academic licenses and see the conditions put on student use of academic licenses. Students cannot normally use academic licenses for coursework but can use TAH.
Also, Student licences and Home licenses are restricted by the Terms to activation on one computer, but under at least some conditions Mathworks permits activation on two computers for those.
