How can I tell the activation script where to write the licence file?

On a linux system, I'm trying to activate an installation with an active internet connection. After authentication and choosing my license the activation script tries to write the licence file in the matlab root folder where I don't have and never will have permissions to write. Sudo is not an option either.

How can I tell the script to write the file into my home folder?

Hey Christian,

To tell the MATLAB activation script to write the license file into your home folder instead of the MATLAB root folder, you can use the cd (change directory) command in the terminal to navigate to your home directory before running the activation script.

I hope this helps!
