Help info

Thank you, this is just what I needed. The only missing piece for an upgrade is to delete the existing service (command prompt, sc delete "MATLAB license server"). The folders under the old MATLAB versions (e.g., Program FIles\MATLAB\R2013b) can also be deleted. Sometimes a restart is needed.
