I've successfully installed Matlab on a VMWare Linux Virtual Machine, but I haven't been able to run the license script. At the end of the installation, I'm instructed to run the lmstart script, but it produces the following error:

The following lines in your license file were treated as comments . . .
Check that you do not have license lines split incorrectly across more
than one line.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
line#  line
    2  MATLAB license passcode file for use with FLEXlm.
    5  USE_SERVER
    6  
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Checking license file for local hostname and local hostid . . .
ping: unknown host NinasLinuxBox
      Error: Your host does not match any SERVER line in your license
             file. Your local lmhostid(s) are:
             08002791cddb
             Your hostname is:  NinasLinuxBox
             The SERVER line(s) are:
             -----------------------------------------------
             SERVER matlic.huji.ac.il 000C29C81474 27000
             -----------------------------------------------
Please stop, fix the problem, and try again . . .

Where NinasLinuxBox is the name of the virtual machine, and matlic.huji.ac.il is my university's license server.

Seems to me that the fact that the OS is hosted on another machine creates a problem in locating the license server. What can be done about this? Thanks Edden

The contents of the file referred to in the first part of the error is:

DAEMON MLM "/usr/local/MATLAB/R2014b/etc/MLM"
MATLAB license passcode file for use with FLEXlm.
