For clusters using MATLAB Job Scheduler (MJS)

1. Install the desired release of MATLAB Parallel Server.
   • If necessary, make sure the license file on the Network License Manager is updated to support the release you want to use. You may also need to update the Network License Manager to support the newer license file.
2. Stop the MJS service.
   • Optionally, if you plan to support multiple releases of MATLAB Parallel Server, you'll need to configure this in your mjs_def file. See the link below for more information.
3. Start the new MJS service installed with your new installation of MATLAB Parallel Server.

For clusters using third-party schedulers

1. Install the desired release of MATLAB Parallel Server.
