## Create a MathWorks Account

To create an account, enter your email address, first name, last name, and password. You must also provide an Activation Key. A newly created account does not have any licenses linked to it. The Activation Key identifies the license you want to activate.

### Note

Entering dashes or spaces for the Activation Key is optional.

The administrator on the license can retrieve the key by visiting the License Center at the MathWorks® website.

Click Next to create your account.

### Note

When you create a new MathWorks Account, you must verify your email address before you can proceed with activation. Before you click Next in the Email Verification Required dialog box, go to your email program, open the message from MathWorks, and click the verification link. Then return to this dialog box and click Next.
