Control_Toolbox cannot be checked out under linux, only under windows

Running

license('checkout', 'Control_Toolbox')

works only under Windows for me in Matlab 2024b. With Linux I get following response:

License checkout failed.

License Manager Error -5

Cannot find a license for Control_Toolbox.

How can it be fixed? A share license pool is used but with linux other licenses like matlab_coder can be checked out.

Answer from AI:

The most common reason for this error is an Option File restriction placed on the license pool by your institution's IT or license administrator. Administrators often restrict specific toolbox keys to Windows platforms to ensure compliance with specialized licensing agreements. [1, 2, 3, 4]

Additionally, this mismatch can stem from:

• Platform Exclusions: During the creation or checkout of the license, your administrator may have explicitly limited the Control System Toolbox to Windows platforms. [1]
• Missing Installation Files: The toolbox may not actually be installed on your Linux machine. When running the MATLAB installer on Linux, administrators can deselect individual products based on what is available to that specific platform in the license file. [1]
• Network License Server: Network License Managers can distribute different products based on the operating system of the client. The license server file might not be configured to grant the Control System Toolbox to Linux clients. [1]

Contact your IT department and/or MATLAB support.

Agreeing with the conclusion that this is likely something your IT department can/needs to resolve and you as an end user canot control.

Your IT team can approach MathWorks installation support if needed.
