How do I download MATLAB and other MathWorks products for R2008a and earlier releases?

Answer 1

[MathWorks Support Team]

For R2008a and earlier, MATLAB and other products cannot be downloaded through the MathWorks Product Installer. The product files must be downloaded prior to running the installer.

Please note that your license may not allow you to download earlier releases of MATLAB. You may be able to discover this by attempting to follow the directions below.

To download MATLAB for R2008a and earlier:

1. Go to the following URL: https://www.mathworks.com/downloads
2. Log in to your MathWorks account if prompted.
3. Click on the Select Release pane near the top of the page. This will display a list of releases available to you.
4. Click on the release you wish to download.
5. Now, in the middle of the page, you should see a list of Products to download. To select which operating system you wish to download these packages for, you can change the Platform on the right side.

Once you have your Platform selected, you can then follow the Installation Instructions that are located below the Product list.

does not work No select version...

Tom:

If "Select Release" does not appear at that page, then your MATLAB Central account is not associated with a MATLAB license that is permitted to download previous releases (for example it might be a MOOC licenses... or you might not have associated with any license at all.)

In order to download previous releases of MATLAB, you (or your school or workplace) need to have purchased a version of MATLAB that is as new or newer than the version you want to download.

The answer is no longer correct. No product list appears on the page. The only choice is to download an iso file from this page. The answer needs to be updated with a link to the list of products to download
