Similarly to Mosek license is not detected after running cvx_setup, cvx_setup keeps telling me I am missing a Mosek licence. However, as you can see in the terminal output parsed below, it is indeed located in “$HOME/mosek/mosek.lic”. I tried adding the path in “startup.m”, but it did not change anything.
Running “cvx_solver”, however, still outputs that I have Mosek, and that it is successfully selected as default.
Interestingly though, it seems cvx still agrees to run with Mosek (at least, it does not return any error message nor is it telling me it swaps to whatever solver when running the optimisation).
What is happening here? Is the warning in cvx_setup actually impacting something, seeing how I can still run the program? If yes, how can I solve it? I don’t see how to feed cvx the path to the academic licence…
(I am getting this warning consistently on the two Linux machines I tried)
