Matlab 2013a deployment project

How do I make a standalone application in matlab r2013a? The new deployment function and the deploytool method are both gone... Thank you.

What do you mean: "the new deployment function and the deploytool method are both gone."

[Tommy]

I meant that under "new", there is no option to create a new deployment project. Also, the deploytool command does not exist.

Are you sure? Those tools are both in the optional extra-cost MATLAB Compiler Toolbox.

Note for reference: the MATLAB Compiler Toolbox and MATLAB Coder Toolbox are only available for the Academic and Professional licenses, and not at all for the Student Version licenses.

[Tommy]

Oh, so it is because I am using the student version? How can I tell it is the student version? it has simulink and everything... I thought it was pretty complete. And I used the isstudent command and it returns zero...

Tommy: Try typing ver at the MATLAB prompt to get information about your license and installed products.

[Walter Roberson]

The Academic and Professional licenses do not include Simulink (or several other toolboxes) by default -- though it would be common for an Academic institute to bulk-license packages.

The more complete your software, the less likely it is to be Academic or Professional, due to costs. For example I do not own any toolboxes at all because I cannot afford them; for me to get a license with software equivalent to the Student Version would (I estimate) cost somewhere around $US16000. And that's without the Compiler or Coder.
