Buy or trial MatLab R2009b

I need MatLab v 7.9 (R2009b). Can you give it me, please? How can I buy or trial it?

[John D'Errico]

No. Sorry, but we CANNOT give you a copy, even an old one. You can download an old release, IF you have paid for a current version. But then, why would you want such an old release?

[Walter Roberson]

Managers of Standard ("Commercial", "Professional") licenses, and of Academic licenses can download older versions of MATLAB to use under a purchased license.

I have not been able to figure out yet whether Home licenses have access to older versions of MATLAB.

Student licenses do not have access to older versions of MATLAB as far as I can tell.

@Walter: Home license users can download and run old versions also.

@Walter student licenses have access to some releases back. I can download among others R2008b, R2009a, and R2010a. R2009b is for some reason not allowed.

[Walter Roberson]

I have seen repeated postings indicating that students cannot download old versions. Perhaps it depends upon a setting the University makes ?

NOBODY can just give it to you.

Can you buy it? You can get a current license. That would, in theory, alow you to download an old release.

However, are you sure you can even use it? Note that such an old release will probably not run on many newer computers. So before you do anything at all, make sure your computer will run that release.
