## Gathering Information Needed for Licensing

The Installation and Activation Next Steps dialog box contains the information you need to retrieve your File Installation Key from the License Center at the MathWorks® website. This information includes:

- Host ID

- Release number (for example, R2019b)

- Operating system user name (Note that user names are case-sensitive in activation.)

To get your File Installation Key:

1. Copy the information displayed in this dialog box and click Finish to exit the installer. On Windows and Linux systems, you can click Print to print the information.

2. Go to a computer with an Internet connection and log in to your account at the MathWorks website.

3. Visit the License Center and enter the information from this dialog box. MathWorks uses this information to generate a License File and a File Installation Key for your license.

4. Return to your computer and run the installer again. With the File Installation Key and a License File, you can install and activate the software without an Internet connection.
