how activate matlab license

Hello, yesterday I install matlab on my pc, on Windows 10, with a university license. I'd like try to install matlab on ubuntu also. I have windows 10 and ubuntu 16.04 in dual boot on the same PC (HP Intel core i5) I don't know if this is possibile, i don't know if i can install matlab on the same pc with the same account. Can you help me to understand? If i write on "Terminale" (sorry I don't know the english word of Terminale), this is the output:

chiara@ChiaraBot:~$ matlab
License checkout failed.

License Manager Error -9
Your username does not match the username in the license file. 
To run MATLAB on this computer, you must run the Activation client to reactivate your license.

Hello Chiara,

It is possible to use MATLAB activated with same license in different operating systems on the same computer. For more details, you can check the following link: https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/97198-can-i-use-the-same-matlab-license-in-different-operating-systems-on-the-same-computer

The error that you are getting is not because of multiple MATLAB installations. Since you mention that you are using a university license, it could be a username issue. Check out the following links, it might help:
