Hello Jianxin Liu,

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

Please note that, with MATLAB releases R2012a through R2013b on Mac OS X 10.8 to at least 10.10 (Mountain Lion, Mavericks, and Yosemite), your MathWorks Host ID points to en1, not en0. On Mac OS X 10.7 and earlier, the Host ID is still en0. This issue only affects Mac models which have multiple network interfaces. Macs without a built in Ethernet port are not effected. This includes the MacBook Air and the retina MacBook Pro.
