 | `cache` | <p>(Optional) Option to enable caching with GitHub&reg; Actions, specified as `false` or `true`. By default, the value is `false` and the action does not store MATLAB and the specified products in a GitHub Actions cache for future use.

+#### Licensing
+Product licensing for your workflow depends on your project visibility as well as the type of products to set up:
+
+- Public project — If your workflow does not include transformation products, such as MATLAB Coder and MATLAB Compiler, then the action automatically licenses any products that you set up. If your workflow includes transformation products, you can request a [MATLAB batch licensing token](https://github.com/mathworks-ref-arch/matlab-dockerfile/blob/main/alternates/non-interactive/MATLAB-BATCH.md#matlab-batch-licensing-token) by submitting the [MATLAB Batch Licensing Pilot](https://www.mathworks.com/support/batch-tokens.html) form.
+- Private project — The action does not automatically license any products for you. You can request a batch licensing token by submitting the [MATLAB Batch Licensing Pilot](https://www.mathworks.com/support/batch-tokens.html) form.
+
+To use a MATLAB batch licensing token, first set it as a [secret](https://docs.github.com/en/actions/security-guides/using-secrets-in-github-actions). Then, map the secret to an environment variable named `MLM_LICENSE_TOKEN` in your workflow. For an example, see [Use MATLAB Batch Licensing Token](#use-matlab-batch-licensing-token).

 ## Notes
-When you use the **Setup MATLAB** action, you execute third-party code that is licensed under separate terms.
+- The **Setup MATLAB** action automatically includes the [MATLAB batch licensing executable](https://github.com/mathworks-ref-arch/matlab-dockerfile/blob/main/alternates/non-interactive/MATLAB-BATCH.md) (`matlab-batch`). To use a MATLAB batch licensing token in a workflow that does not use this action, you must first download the executable and add it to the system path.
+- When you use the **Setup MATLAB** action, you execute third-party code that is licensed under separate terms.
