Maltab Version R2015a required for student download

Hello,

I am a student from Heidelberg University. For my master thesis I would need the Matlab Version R2015a or older.

I could not find this version in the student download version (Free version).

Thank you for your help.

Kind regards,

Max Bickelhaupt

"student download version (Free version)" There is no such thing as a free student version. I assume that Heidelberg University has a site-license and that you need to contact the administrator of that license.

Only the people who provide your license, and Mathworks, are authorized to provide the software to you. A lot of people have access to the downloads, but the license does not permit us to pass the software on.

https://www.mathworks.com/downloads/web_downloads

If you are authorized to download old releases, then on the left side of that page you will see "Select release"; if it does then in that list click "See more" and in the expanded list that shows up click "Show all", and select R2015aSP1 or R2015b (dependin which R2015 you need).

If you are a Student then you probably do not have access to that link to Select release, and in that case you would need to get staff to download the installer for you.

Note: it is no longer possible to purchase a release that old. However, at least for Standard and Academic and Home licenses, if you own a later release, then the license also entitles you to use any earlier release. I do not have experience with Student licenses to know if the same thing is true for Student licenses.

Hi @Max Bickelhaupt,

As stated in the comments, there is no free version available for MATLAB. You can install the trial version for MATLAB however, only the latest version can be downloaded for trial and hence you won't be able to access MATLAB R2015a.

If your university has the license for MATLAB, you can download MATLAB R2015a by following these steps:

• Log in to your MathWorks account using your university email
• Navigate to the "My Account" section of your profile

• Click the download option for the MATLAB license listed under the "My Software" section (This will be available only if you have the student license for MATLAB provided by your university)

• You will be redirected to the downloads page (https://www.mathworks.com/downloads) and here you can download MATLAB R2015a by selecting the version using the "Select Release" drop down

To check for licenses, you can ask the staff at your university and inquire about the license availability for student access to MATLAB.

You can also check licenses associated with your university account on https://www.mathworks.com/ by logging into your university account and following the steps given in this documentation: https://www.mathworks.com/help/matlab/matlab_env/manage-your-licenses.html
