You can find ‘MATLAB’ application at ‘C:\Program Files\MATLAB\R2019b(Check your release)\bin\matlab’ (if you have downloaded MATLAB in ‘C drive’ else go to the folder where MATLAB is downloaded and follow the path above.)

I dont have the path they wrote to paste the license file there is there another opetion?

[Walter Roberson]

If you do not have access to the path to the license file, then we have to wonder if you are authorized to install the software on the machine.

In any case, you can set the LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable; https://www.mathworks.com/matlabcentral/answers/93105-what-are-the-lm_license_file-and-mlm_license_file-environment-variables-and-how-do-i-set-or-check-fo

Though if you do not have write access to the normal license file location, then you probably also do not have access to set the LM_LICENSE_FILE environment variable. You would then either need to create a .bat that started MATLAB for you after setting the variable, or else you would have to modify the properties of the icon that starts MATLAB in order to configure it to set the environment variable . Alternately, you coud alter the properties of the icon that starts MATLAB to add a -c option to the command line; see https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/ref/matlabwindows.html#d117e887510
