This is pretty annoying since it cost a lot of money. I was really stupid, in that, I had a years technical support from Mathwords, but kind of gave up because their suggestions got me nowhere and it was quicker just to use a pirated copy on windows than follow their suggestions when really that was the perfect opportunity to continually badger them; since I was paying for it they were obliged to respond... The problem is the license manager as far as I can tell, I can't seem to get it to start. OK, there are a lot of different pieces of information I could post at this point, but I'm not sure which are most relevant. So, first of all, I think a sensible question I should ask is this: Has anyone on this list got Matlab 13 (aka 6.5) running on FBSD5.3? If so, did you do this by following the instructions in the handbook verbatim, or some other way? thanks cali
