MATLAB Compiler encrypts and archives your MATLAB code (which remains asMATLAB .m code),and packages it in a thin executable (either .exe or .dll) wrapper. This isdelivered to the end user along with the MATLAB Compiler Runtime (MCR). If youwish, the MCR can be packaged within the executable as well.
The MCR is freelyredistributable, and you can think of it as essentially a copy of MATLABwithout a front-end desktop.
When the user runsthe executable, it dearchives and decrypts the MATLAB code, and runs it againstthe MCR instead of MATLAB. Applications delivered
