Hello Kahuthaman Silvadorai,

I see that you are facing license related error while using MATLAB. 

Please note that, this error can occur for the following reasons:

1. The version of MATLAB is newer than the version of the license.dat file on the server machine. To resolve this issue, update the license.dat file on the server machine to the latest release that you are licensed for. Contact your license administrator to make the update.
2. The version of MATLAB is newer than the version of the license manager software (lmtools) on the server. To resolve this issue, update the license manager to the latest version.
