Mathworks staff specifically says "MATLAB on Amazon EC2 is not available for users with MATLAB Student or MATLAB Home."

In order to use that service you need to use a Login Named User license. Those LNU licenses are not available for Student or Home licenses.

I do not find any restriction listed that would prevent an Academic license from using AWS, but the LNU facility does have to be enabled for the user by the license administrator.
