In order to get a license, the command is 'license checkout <name of the license>.Is there any command to release a license?

I can get tools licenses using 'license checkout RTW_Embedded_Coder' etc. (floating licenses servers). How to release this license in particular???. For now, I close my matlab which returns all licenses, which is an in-convenience.

Sorry, there is no command for that. https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/99343-how-do-i-release-or-return-a-toolbox-license-key-back-to-the-pool-of-available-keys-without-restarti

is there any articular reason for this?

[Walter Roberson]

I get the impression that the underlying license server (flexnet, formerly known as flexlm) does not support this.

Vikas, if the contact information I have is correct, you access a license where all users can access MathWorks' products in an almost unlimited fashion. What is the underlying need to "return" a license key?

[Vikas Pandey]

Hello Andreas, the unlimited license use is only for trial period. After that it will be like floating licenses on servers. If I am using 'embedded coder' license for example, I will generate the code and release it, which others can access. Instead of closing the matlab instance, which becomes inconvienience.
