## 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 associated with it. The Activation Key identifies the license you want to activate.

Note: Entering dashes or spaces for the Activation Key is optional.

The administrator contact on the license can retrieve the key by visiting the License Center at the MathWorks® website. If you are activating MATLAB® student-use software, your product package includes the Activation Key or visit the License Center on the MathWorks website to retrieve the key

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.
