Getting a 30-day trial version of MATLAB R2015a

Hi,

I am a graduate student at a Canadian university that has a Total Academic Headcount for faculty, students and staff. I am now working with two Cegep student for a period of two months (they are NOT university students) and would like them to have access to the same version of the software that I have been using over the past few years, MATLAB R2015a. We are trying to get them to download it as a free 30-day trial version, but it seems only the latest version (R2019a) is available, and in an online trial only. So my question is two-fold: (1) Is there a way to download a trial version of MATLAB R2015a (not in online format); (2) if that's not possible, am I allowed to use my university-wide license to temporarily install the full version of the software on their computers? If so, are we going to be able to use the software simultaneously, given that it would be registered under my name on 3 computers?

Many thanks!

I would think not. However, this is best answered by contacting mathworks directly who will also be able to tell you what your options are.

Unfortunately the automatically generated trial licenses are only valid for the current version of MATLAB. To get a trial license for an earlier version of MATLAB, it would be necessary to go through Mathworks Sales.

I would tend to think that under the circumstances, it would probably have been acceptable to Mathworks for the students to be given access to the Total Academic Headcount license -- but that might have requires that they be given email addresses at the university (which might potentially have been a struggle in itself.)
