* MATLAB
* Simulink
* Symbolic Math Toolbox
* Control System Toolbox
* Signal Processing Toolbox
* Signal Processing Blockset
* Statistics Toolbox
* Optimization Toolbox

We really love the parallel/distributed computing capabilities and run some really interesting and large problems entirely in the Matlab environment without any MPI programming. Probably the best software addition Mathworks has made in years. The Cray CX1 I have runs HPC Server 2008 and is rock solid.

The only problem with the student version is that there are never any of the toolboxes required. Is it possible to get student licenses for toolboxes? Appreciate the help.

MATLAB R14SP3 predates Windows 7 by a few years and so we can't guarantee that it will work on your machine. You may want to try running it in XP (32-bit) compatibility mode. Alternatively you can try downloading a newer version of Java 1.5 or 1.6 than the one that comes with MATLAB and follow this <a href="http://www.mathworks.com/support/solutions/en/data/1-1812J/index.html" rel="nofollow">solution</a> to change MATLAB to use the new version. Your wife should also investigate if she is eligible for a student version or if her adviser has a MATLAB license for a recent version that she can use at home. @Kurt,

But if I click it, then a new icon appears in the taskbar. I know that the launching icon and the actual matlab session are linked to different executable files. The problem is that if I run the direct link to the executable, then I lose all personal settings when I run it (like initialization in the path is not run). Having separate matlab taskbar icon when I run a session is not very elegant. Is there a way to share the same icon that I use to launch a session? In windows 7, I have a Matlab icon in my taskbar.
