I bought a legal copy of matlab 14 student version and I'm running it fine
on FC4, but they made it so that it can only be started with the cd in the
drive, which annoys the hell out of me. Plus cds can be lost, damaged, etc.
This is for the student version only.

If the cd is not in the drive, I get some error message like "Please
insert ... ". I ran strings and grep recursively on the entire matlab root
directory, and it came back with nothing. I was trying to find what's the
executable that checks whether the cd is in the drive or not.

Does anybody have any more insight on this?

Thanks!
