Is this during a "silent installation" ?
Are you using MATLAB command line options to point to a particular license file?

Hi Bjørn,
I understand that you are facing difficulty with a license file. The error message "The license file selected appears to be invalid" in MATLAB typically indicates an issue with the license file or the license manager. Here are a few potential reasons for this error:
- License file might be corrupted or not valid. Make sure the correct license file is being used. Obtain a new license file from the MathWorks License Center if needed. https://in.mathworks.com/licensecenter/licenses/add?s_tid=gn_aslc
- MATLAB might be looking for the license file in the wrong location. Check that the path to license file is correct.
- Ensure that correct syntax and options are being used when pointing to the license file. Use the -c option followed by the full path to the license file. For e.g.- matlab -c "C:\path\to\license.lic"
- The license file being used might not be valid for a command line or silent installation. Some types of MATLAB licenses require interactive activation (e.g., Individual, Home, Student, Trial Licenses)
- License file might have expired. Check the expiration date of license.
- The license file and the MATLAB version might not match. Make sure that license file is valid for MATLAB version being used.
- Firewall or antivirus software on your computer might be blocking MATLAB from accessing the license file.
