Volume & Site License Software Update<br>-------------------------------------------------------<br>We continue to process Matlab standalone and concurrent orders for this year. License keys issued last year were set to expire at the end of July, so be sure to place a new order so that you can continue to use Matlab. Mathworks has introduced some major changes with R2008a mainly around Activation for standalone usage. If you have already received a license for R2008a, it is extremely important that you include that unique license number when placing your order for this year. Failure to do so, may result in a delay in processing your order. For more information and to place your order, visit:<br><br> <a href="https://web.mit.edu/ist/products/vsls/matlab/matlab-license.html">https://web.mit.edu/ist/products/vsls/matlab/matlab-license.html</a><br> (certificates required)<br><br>To order other software, visit:<br><br> <a href="http://web.mit.edu/ist/products/vsls/">http://web.mit.edu/ist/products/vsls/</a><br><br><br>5.
