Register MATLAB COM server for Matlab 2018a/b

I am trying to register MATLAB COM server for Matlab 2018a/b so I can set up Matlab to communicate with nCode Glyphworks.

Typing the command matlab -regserver does not work as I only have user rights and I need Admin rights for that command to work.

Another suggestion is to use the the command comserver('register')

I tried this in a command window prompt and got an error message

'comserver' is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

Whatever the solution does it have to be carried out once to set this set up or on every occasion that I want to run Matlab and nCode Glyphworks together.

Can an admin user set this up for all users on a one time basis?

comserver() as a function was introduced in R2020a (and it only works with MS Windows.)

Yes.

Or

matlab -regserver

These register the current version of MATLAB only.

When a new version is installed, supposedly the new version gets registered automatically, but that might only apply R2020a and later.
