LICENSE INSTALLATION FOR IMAT
----------------------------------

IMAT licenses are supplied by ATA's license server, which is provided as a
separate installation.  You can download the latest version of the ATA license
server from

ftp://ftp.ata-e.com/pub/outgoing/TrialSoftware/ATAServer

Please follow the installation instructions that come with the server package
to install and configure the license server.  You will need to contact ATA
Engineering for a license file.

Assuming this is installed and configured correctly, all you need to do for IMAT
is to set the environment variable ATA_SERVER to point to the server hostname and
port number prior to starting Matlab.

On Unix, you can set this variable using the command

export ATA_SERVER=server:8211
or
setenv ATA_SERVER server:8211    ( C shell )

On Windows, you can define it in Settings | Control Panel | System.

Please see the IMAT README file for more details.
