The software downloaded was a multiuser version and the other user said that the license had been installed into just his user profile, which is odd for a multiuser program. Can the license just be copied over into my user profile?
Licenses are locked to each individual computer system for which a license key is generated by using a single-use registration token.
If you use the *same computer*, then yes, you can just copy the "license.dat" file located in "%USERPROFILE%/Documents/MATLAB/.featool" folder to your own corresponding directory.
