Install addon 'Access denied', running as root not possible 'Your username does not match the username in the license file. '

So i have installed matlab as root user under /usr/local. Running as local user is working fine.

I would like to install a toolbox but this is not working because missing priviledges for the /usr/local dir.

Running as root seems to be not possible because of the license is only valid for the local user.

How can i install a toolbox, or what would be the correct way to install matlab?
