Access to ealier Matlab Versions

The 30-day trial Matlab only offers 2026a. I may need access to ealier versions. Does this license provide access to ealier versions?

[Torsten]

Standard 30-day trial licenses only grant access to the newest release of MATLAB. You cannot directly download or use earlier versions through a standard trial. [1, 2, 3, 4]

To successfully obtain and use an earlier version with your trial, specific steps are required:

• Official Limitations: Trial releases are intended to showcase the newest features and capabilities. [1, 2]
• MathWorks Support: If you specifically need an earlier release for a legacy project or system compatibility, you will need to contact MathWorks Sales or MathWorks Support directly to request an exception. [1, 2]
• Full Licenses: Access to download and activate earlier releases natively from your account page is only available with paid Standard, Education, or Student licenses, not trials. [1, 2]
• Online Constraints: You cannot use previous versions of MATLAB Online. [1]

[Andreas Goser]

Torsten's comment is mostly correct with the exceptioon of support cannot provide trials. In essence:

• In case evaluating products for a specific release before you buy them is importnat for you, MathWorks Sales can provide a trial for an older release.
• Licensed users with active maintenenace can download older releases. Currently this includes releases of the last 25 or so years.
