How to check if matlab toolbox installed in matlab

Question

I am working on Matlab R2011a student edition. I want to run some demos provided in Matlab which require some toolbox like Embedded Coder and EDA Simulator Link.

I want to check if those toolboxes are installed in my current version of matlab and if yes how can I check if the licenses are valid.

The reference to this link didn't help me: How would one check for installed MATLAB toolboxes in a script/function? because I need at least the short name of those toolboxes like "control" states for "Control System Toolbox" by using the command ver control.

Any suggestion...

Answer 1

To check that the toolbox is installed, use

v = ver;
any(strcmp(toolboxName, {v.Name}))

where toolboxName is the name of the toolbox you want to check.

To check that the licence is valid, use

license('test', toolboxName)
