For years I've been using the integrated deploytool to create easily distributable *.exe files for my colleagues. I installed R2013b a couple of days ago and I can't use the deploytool anymore. The log file when trying to package gives this:

ant:
<ant>
  <mkdir dir="C:\Users\xxxx\Matlab\programxy\test\for_redistribution" />
  <mkdir dir="C:\Users\xxxx\Matlab\programxy\test\for_testing" />
</ant>
mcc -C -o test -W WinMain:test -T link:exe -d 'C:\Users\xxxx\Matlab\programxy\test\for_testing' -v 'C:\Users\xxxx\Matlab\programxy\test.m'
Test checkout of feature 'Compiler' failed.

mcc failed.

This looks like a license issue but out license does include the compiler. 

license('test', 'compiler')

gives '1'.

Is there anything new with R2013b that I'm just missing? Do I have to install some addon for this to work again?

As mentioned in the comment: if the problem is a missing license matlab typically expresses this very clearly.

Judging from your description I would guess that you did not set up / select the compiler after installing the new version of matlab.

Though it is a bit hard to read, I believe this site contains some things to try.
