For all non-Staff, Student, or Faculty Users (DCU, Research User, Short-term affiliate, Casual/Hourly, etc.)

Since MATLAB made the change to Single Sign-On (SSO), we are unable to automatically renew licenses for users with affiliations that are not Staff, Student, or Faculty.  If you require continued access to MATLAB, kindly email softwarecenter@princeton.edu and provide us with a personal email address (not an @princeton.edu address).  We will send instructions for setting up your account after assigning license access to the personal email address you provided us.
