What I have to do? I am continuously prompted to activate when I try to launch MATLAB

I am trying to activate and use MATLAB 2019. Every time I start it, it asks me to activate, even though I complete the process and it states activation is complete each time. Why am I continuously prompted to activate when I try to launch MATLAB?

It´s the same problem that appears in that question (in the link below), but i couldn´t solve it.

I have the individual student license that is provided me for my school (campus license, I´m not sure how is named this kind of license).

Hi @Eric Gabriel Belmonte Fuentes,

There can be several reasons why MATLAB keeps prompting you to activate every time you launch it, even though the activation process appears to complete successfully. Common causes include issues with license file permissions, incorrect license file paths, or problems saving the activation information.

Since you mentioned you're facing the same issue as described below: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/106141-why-am-i-continuously-prompted-to-activate-when-i-try-to-launch-matlab , I would recommend referring to the License Problems Cheat Sheet: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/404028-license-problems-cheat-sheet. It’s a comprehensive guide that helps troubleshoot and resolve most licensing and activation issues.

It covers steps like:

• Verifying the location and content of your license file.
• Checking and fixing file and folder permissions.
• Removing any outdated or conflicting license information.
• Performing a clean re-activation if necessary.

I hope this helps!
