out, so that one does not "occupy" the license without actual need.
The University of Bergen is paying for MATLAB-license which allows up to 150 simultaneous

to MATLAB since all of the licenses were registered as in use. This problem
has, among other things, occurred due to MATLAB-course MAT102 which has the following groups. Renewable energy conference 2013
