Version 4.2a does not exist (yet?), but in v4.0-4.2 LiveLink for MATLAB is indeed required to connect the two software programs.

If you have the livelink part to your licence, then when you are installing the comsol 4.2 software it will ask you to specify the matlab root, ie where it is situated on your computer.

Do this and once installation is complete a shortcut for comsol with matlab will appear on your desktop, as well as a comsol one.
