Hi, I seem to remember being able to use matlab on my personal computer associating user account with my organizational email but now microsoft won't let me associate my user account with my organizational email.

I assume this is because the account on my personal computer is associated with my hotmail and not my organizational email

There are two kinds of VPN (virtual private network) in use.

In one of the kinds, you are required to authenticate as a particular user (your organizational identification.) When that kind of configuration is used, the license server should automatically be given that identification, and you should end up using the system just as if you were logged in at work.

In the other main configuration, your remote access would authenticate you as a valid user of the network, but without associating you with a particular account for that purpose. When this configuration is used, and you run MATLAB on your system, the userid that the license server receives might be your Windows Usename . You can see your Windows Username by either following the instructions at https://it.nmu.edu/docs/determining-your-windows-username or by bringing up a command shell on Windows and giving it the command whoami . The license server list of people permitted to use MATLAB would then have to include that username. This is not the same as any Microsoft Live account that you might possibly enter to log in to your local machine: this is the account that exists even when your local machine is not connected to a network.

You should be working with your license server people, as they can look at the logs and tell you which userid that the license server thinks that you are authenticating with.

Associating your Windows account on your personal machine with your organizational email is unlikely to help.
