Mosek is skipped by cvx

1

Hello,

I am trying to install both Gurobi and mosek solvers for CVX. However, CVX only initialized Gurobi and skipped Mosek. Is it because CVX doesn’t support Mosek 8.0?

Mosek commands like mosekopt and mosekopt can be successfully run in Matlab.

Here is the installation information, I deleted the my personal information.

Hi,

I am having just the same error like you. I am not interested in Gurobi, but I have installed Mosek 7 succesfully with an academic license, and added the mosek path to matlab. Still, I get the same message as you, in which Mosek solver is skipped and it tells me that I need a CVX Professional license, which I have.

Something that bothers me is the line “Status: invalid:user”, which I am also getting. Is this the problem? How can I solve it?

Did you figure out how to solve the problem? Or does anybody know?

Thanks in advance.
