Windows and Linux versions on one computer

I have a dual boot laptop computer running Windows 10 and Linux on two separate disk partitions.
I have a single user license and have Matlab installed on the Windows 10 operating system.
I would like to start using the Linux version of Matlab.
Can I install the Linux version of Matlab on the same laptop as the Windows version with just one license?

Yes! The license terms are per-host, not per-OS.
That said, Windows uses a different strategy to identify host identifier for licensing purposes than Linux does, so you could potentially run into situations where MATLAB does not recognize the two OS as being the same host.
From what I understand of the way the authentication works, on any comparatively recent version of MATLAB for Linux (since persistent device naming become common), it should find all of the MAC interfaces and accept them all, so I suspect that if you install on Windows first and then Linux you should not have difficulty. However if you installed on Linux first and then Windows, I could imagine the Windows one not realizing it was the same host.

Hi, Greg,
I have the same issue as you did. I have Windows Matlab in my laptop. Now I want to install a Linux Matlab at the same computer. I just want to know if you encountered any problem when you installed Linux Matlab in your computer. Thanks.
Benson
