Hi Zhi-Ping,
Thank you for your email. However, it seems not a question I could address as an HPCO
Partner Support Representative. The best way for solving such issue I could think of is to
create an ticket here:
assystNET - (UPDATED) Transfer a software license to another computer
(dfo-mpo.ca)<http://assystselfservice.ent.dfo-mpo.ca/assystnet/application.jsp#serviceOfferings/482>
Could you give it a try there?
Best Regards,
Andy (Yuehua)

Hi Bill,
I guess what happened was regardless I use it or not. When I started Matlab, the license
for tooboxes are also started and became occupied by me, even if I don’t use it. I copy
this email to tech support to see if they can let the license run only when someone launch
the function that uses specific toolbox.
M_map can be downloaded at
https://www.eoas.ubc.ca/~rich/map.html<https://can01.safelinks.protect....
You can keep downloaded code in a separate folder of your own, without administrators
permission. You just need to add the directory of the m_map to your matlab paths so that
Matlab can find the files in m_map. Mostly the usage of m_map is the same as Matlab
Mapping Toolbox, with minor difference, such as plotm becomes m_plot in m_map; in Mapping
toobox we use lat, lon, whereas in m_map, we use lon, lat. etc.

Thanks Zhi-Ping, I appreciate that you released the Mapping Toolbox. Unfortunately,
quitting MATLAB is the only way to do it.
I’ve never heard of m_map. Is it installed on the Science Network? Does it work the same
as the Mapping Toolbox?

Hi Bill,
I haven’t been using Mapping Toolbox for a long time because of license issue. Instead I
use open source m_map.
Please let me know how I can release the license to you.

Hi Zhi-Ping –
I’m a fellow MATLAB user on the science network. I see you have been using the Mapping
Toolbox since 18:32Z. If you are finished now would you please release it? There is only 1
license unfortunately. I don’t use it very often, but I would like to work on some new
figures.
Thanks for your consideration!
Bill
