Information from NA4:
NA4 has been working closely with Mathworks in order to smoothly integrate MATLAB MDCS with gLite. This product has passed through an extensive trial period during the past year, delivering a couple of interesting success stories (see the article in the latest iSGTW: http://www.isgtw.org/?pid=1001851).
Regarding the license schema; both the resource provider (MDCS) and the user (MATLAB gui) should have a license in order for the latter to access the product on the grid. For the grid context we have agreed that a third party license is the most appropriate which means that an installation on an RC will give access to all VOs supported by this cluster. Therefore, there is no control of who is accessing the product as long as he/she is member of one of the supporting VOs. Pricing information can be made available on request. From what we've discussed with Mathworks these prices are rather indicative which means that they would be potentially willing to negotiate them.
For any sites interested in this, enquiries should first be send to:
