Configure Optional On-Demand Licensing in the License Center
Step 1: Enable On-Demand
On-demand licensing allows you to use additional workers as needed. The charge
for these workers is based on usage time, rather than on a fixed number of workers.
Enabling on-demand provides additional workers to the fixed count limit on your number
of workers, or it can be used as your only form of licensing.
Note On-demand licensing is not available in all areas. Contact your MathWorks
representative.
On-demand licensing for a particular license requires that license to be configured to
use the MathWorks hosted license manager. (On-demand licensing is not supported by
FlexNet license management.) This might be the default for a new license, or you can
enable it yourself as described in “Step 1: Select MathWorks Hosted License Manager” on
page 1-9.
For MathWorks hosted license manager, all the cluster worker machines require HTTPS
communication with the Internet. Be sure that port 443 is open on all cluster machines
When you have configured a license to use the MathWorks hosted license manager, the
On Demand tab is available for that license.
