-I was able to get an installation key and license by logging into my Mathworks account, going to the "install and activate" tab, then clicking "activate to retrieve license file" under related tasks. From there, click "active a computer". The Matlab license is tied to a specific username and MAC address, so in order to get it to work in docker, specify the login name as "root", which is the Docker default, and set the mac address to 02:42:ac:11:00:02. The license MAC address needs to match the MAC address in the Docker container, which can be specified at runtime.
