Can a license for MATLAB student R2022a be used on two computers?

I am planning to buy a license for MATLAB Student R2022a and I am wondering if I can use it on two computers? I would use my personal computer and occasionally a computer from a colleague. I found a similar question for this, but its an old one so I am not sure if anything changed over the years.

If the old computer is not 64 bits, then no, it won't work on it.

You can only use the student version on one computer at a time. You can deactivate it and reactivate it a certain limited number of times, to let you change / upgrade computers for example. So if it's something you want to do several times a week over the next few months or longer, than that won't work. You'd have to buy a second copy.

Mine is 64 bit, I think the other one is the same.

Thank you for your answer. Do you know how many times can I do the switch?

See if you already have it through your university here:

See the FAQ for the Student license here:

You are permitted to install MATLAB Student and Home on up to two computers and you may transfer a MATLAB Student or Home license up to two times per year. MATLAB Student and Home must be deactivated before it can be transferred to a new machine.

That's probably not enough for your use case.

Another possibility is to use MATLAB Online on one or both of the machines.

Thank you for all the answers! I will look into this online option.
