The way you access Matlab on University lab computers has changed this year, as Mathworks have moved to an online-based account system for licencing.

You will now need a Mathsworks account to access the software.

When you load up Matlab 2024, you will see the following log-in screen appear, which will require your unimail email address - follow the steps below for details on how to login. (Please note; the first time you launch Matlab on any machine, there will be a delay in the login screen appearing. Please be patient)

New Accounts

If you do NOT have a Mathsworks account, follow these steps to create an account:

1. Click on "Create one!" next to the "No Account?" text, which will take you to the new account screen:
2. On this screen, you will need to enter your @unimail.derby.ac.uk email address (do not use a personal email), select the location as "United Kingdom" and enter your first and last name.
   
3. On the next steps, you will be asked to set up your account, including your password - this should be unique, and not the same as any other accounts you have.
4. Once set up, you can then log-in using these new details, and the application should then pick up a licence automatically, and you can then use Matlab 2024.

Existing Accounts

If you already have a Mathsworks account, follow these steps to log-in:

1. Enter your @unimail.derby.ac.uk email address in the Sign-in screen (as shown), and choose Next.
2. You can then enter your password that you had previously set up for your Mathsworks account, and you can then log in.
3. Once logged in, the application should then pick up a licence automatically and you can then use Matlab 2024.
