MATLAB® and Simulink® from MathWorks® use the UHD drivers from National Instruments™ (“NI”) to connect to Ettus Research™ USRP™ family of devices. A UHD Binary License is required for each USRP device to be used with MATLAB or Simulink. Every USRP device includes one free license when the device is purchased directly from National Instruments, authorized distributors, or Ettus Research in the past.
In order to obtain this license, the user must complete and submit the web form below. You will be sent a confirmation email we recommend you keep as it will serve as your license proof. You will not be sent a license file, or any other material, nor is anything further needed to complete the installation process for MATLAB® and Simulink®. Once you receive the confirmation email from NI, and have successfully installed MATLAB® and Simulink® software, you should be able to use MATLAB® and Simulink® software with your USRP device.
Please note that you must have a valid license for MATLAB® or Simulink® itself, and this is obtained only from The MathWorks.
Note: For use of the UHD Software with any other devices not purchased directly from National Instruments, an authorized distributor, or Ettus Research in the past, you will need to purchase a license. Please contact your local NI sales representative or email [email protected] to obtain a sales quotation for the applicable license.

Limitation of Liability. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO EVENT
SHALL ER BE LIABLE TO YOU OR ANY THIRD PARTY FOR INCIDENTAL, CONSEQUENTIAL, SPECIAL,
PUNITIVE, OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES OF ANY KIND ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS
AGREEMENT, THE SOFTWARE, THE USE OF THE SOFTWARE, OR ANY TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE,
MATERIALS OR SUPPORT, REGARDLESS OF WHETHER CAUSED OR CONTRIBUTED TO BY THE
NEGLIGENCE OF ER OR OTHERS. TO THE MAXIMUM EXTENT PERMITTED BY APPLICABLE LAW, IN NO
EVENT, HOWEVER, REGARDLESS OF THE BASIS FOR THE DAMAGES OR LIABILITY, SHALL THE TOTAL
LIABILITY TO ER ARISING OUT OF OR IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT, THE SOFTWARE, THE
USE OF THE SOFTWARE, OR ANY TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE, MATERIALS OR SUPPORT, EXCEED IN THE
AGGREGATE U.S. ONE HUNDRED DOLLARS (U.S. $100) REGARDLESS OF WHETHER CAUSED OR
CONTRIBUTED TO BY THE NEGLIGENCE OF ER OR OTHERS. THE FOREGOING LIMITATION OF LIABILITY
IS COMPLETE AND EXCLUSIVE, SHALL APPLY EVEN IF ER HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF
POTENTIAL CLAIMS, LOSSES, OR DAMAGES, AND SHALL APPLY REGARDLESS OF THE SUCCESS OR
EFFECTIVENESS OF ANY OTHER REMEDIES. You and ER each acknowledge and agree that the limitation of
liability provisions of this Section 7 reflect an informed, voluntary allocation between them of all risk associated with
this Agreement, the SOFTWARE, the use of the SOFTWARE, and any technical assistance, materials or support, in
light of any license fees charged by ER. Because some states/jurisdictions do not allow the exclusion or limitation of
liability for consequential or incidental damages, the above limitation may not apply. If the foregoing limitation of
liability is not enforceable because the SOFTWARE is determined by a court of competent jurisdiction in a final, non-
appealable judgment to be defective and to have directly caused bodily injury, death, or property damage, in no event
shall ER’s liability for property damage exceed One Hundred Dollars (U.S. $100). -

RESPECT TO THE SOFTWARE, ANY MODIFICATIONS THERETO, AND ANY TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE,
MATERIALS OR SUPPORT PROVIDED BY ER, INCLUDING ANY AND ALL WARRANTIES OF
MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS OR SUITABILITY FOR ANY PARTICULAR PURPOSE; WARRANTIES
ARISING FROM A COURSE OF DEALING, TRADE USAGE, OR TRADE PRACTICE; AND ANY AND ALL
WARRANTIES OF NON-INFRINGEMENT AND TITLE. ER DOES NOT WARRANT, GUARANTEE, OR MAKE ANY
REPRESENTATIONS REGARDING THE USE OF OR THE RESULTS OF THE USE OF THE SOFTWARE OR ANY
TECHNICAL ASSISTANCE, MATERIALS OR SUPPORT IN TERMS OF CORRECTNESS, ACCURACY,
RELIABILITY, OR OTHERWISE AND DOES NOT WARRANT THAT THE OPERATION OF THE SOFTWARE
WILL BE UNINTERRUPTED OR ERROR FREE.

Warning. (1) ER PRODUCTS ARE NOT DESIGNED WITH COMPONENTS AND TESTING FOR A LEVEL
OF RELIABILITY SUITABLE FOR USE IN OR IN CONNECTION WITH SURGICAL IMPLANTS OR AS CRITICAL
COMPONENTS IN ANY LIFE SUPPORT SYSTEMS WHOSE FAILURE TO PERFORM CAN REASONABLY BE
EXPECTED TO CAUSE SIGNIFICANT INJURY TO A HUMAN. (2) IN ANY APPLICATION, INCLUDING THE
ABOVE, RELIABILITY OF OPERATION OF THE SOFTWARE PRODUCTS CAN BE IMPAIRED BY ADVERSE
FACTORS, INCLUDING FLUCTUATIONS IN ELECTRICAL POWER SUPPLY, COMPUTER HARDWARE
MALFUNCTIONS, COMPUTER OPERATING SYSTEM SOFTWARE FITNESS, FITNESS OF COMPILERS AND
DEVELOPMENT SOFTWARE USED TO DEVELOP AN APPLICATION, INSTALLATION ERRORS, SOFTWARE
AND HARDWARE COMPATIBILITY PROBLEMS, MALFUNCTIONS OR FAILURES OF ELECTRONIC
MONITORING OR CONTROL DEVICES, TRANSIENT FAILURES OF ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS (HARDWARE
AND/OR SOFTWARE), UNANTICIPATED USES OR MISUSES, OR ERRORS ON THE PART OF THE USER OR
APPLICATIONS DESIGNER (ADVERSE FACTORS SUCH AS THESE ARE HEREAFTER COLLECTIVELY
TERMED “SYSTEM FAILURES”). ANY APPLICATION WHERE A SYSTEM FAILURE WOULD CREATE A RISK
OF HARM TO PROPERTY OR PERSONS (INCLUDING THE RISK OF BODILY INJURY AND DEATH) SHOULD
NOT BE RELIANT SOLELY UPON ONE FORM OF ELECTRONIC SYSTEM DUE TO THE RISK OF SYSTEM
FAILURE. TO AVOID DAMAGE, INJURY, OR DEATH, THE USER OR APPLICATION DESIGNER MUST TAKE
REASONABLY PRUDENT STEPS TO PROTECT AGAINST SYSTEM FAILURES, INCLUDING BACK-UP OR
SHUT DOWN MECHANISMS. BECAUSE EACH END-USER SYSTEM IS CUSTOMIZED AND DIFFERS FROM
ER′S TESTING PLATFORMS AND BECAUSE A USER OR APPLICATION DESIGNER MAY USE ER PRODUCTS
IN COMBINATION WITH OTHER PRODUCTS IN A MANNER NOT EVALUATED OR CONTEMPLATED BY ER,
THE USER OR APPLICATION DESIGNER IS ULTIMATELY RESPONSIBLE FOR VERIFYING AND VALIDATING
THE SUITABILITY OF ER PRODUCTS WHENEVER ER PRODUCTS ARE INCORPORATED IN A SYSTEM OR
APPLICATION, INCLUDING THE APPROPRIATE DESIGN, PROCESS, AND SAFETY LEVEL OF SUCH SYSTEM
OR APPLICATION. - 9.
