Constrained optimization, free code

Dear all. I have a constrained optimization problem where I used the fmincon function, and it works perfectly well. But it does not work on a computer with a standard student licence version. I was asked to make it easily accessible to students who do not have the optimization toolbox available. May I ask if there is a way out of this problem or if there is any equivalence of fmincon or any other constrained minimization function provided by matlab or the community. Thank you very much!

There ought to be some optimization-tools on the file-exchange that can be used instead of fminsearch. Perhaps the minimize tool works?
