I am trying to figure out whether it is possible to use the MATLAB COM server (automation server) without installing the whole MATLAB package (but only the runtime libraries).

I will assume that MATLAB COM server is Matlab engine and runtime libraries are MCR.

And the answer is: No, because MCR is available to re-distribute freely whereas Matlab requires a license.

This is taken directly from here:

You must use an installed version of MATLAB; you cannot run the MATLAB engine on a machine that only has the MATLAB Compiler Runtime (MCR).

  • Yes, that's what I suspected - but it would be good to have a direct confirmation from someone who tried – Andrea Feb 07 '12 at 10:12
