How to download 32 bit trial matlab?

Hello. I downloaded trial matalb 2016a 64 bit because mathworks only provided me 64 bit. But my lab top is 32 bit so, I need 32 bit trial version. How to get 32 bit trial version?

[Carlos Porta]

already spent 30 minutes trying to figure this out, veeeery disapointing.

What did you try? Findindg the non existing 32 Bit MATLAB for R2016a? Or downloading something to find out its working? Any help needed from a MathWorks employee?

R2016a, Windows 32-bit operating systems are no longer supported. You can download an earlier version R2015b https://www.mathworks.com/downloads/web_downloads/select_platform?dl_action=choose_products&tab=f&user_platform_id=0

Note: downloading an earlier version requires that you have a license for a version at least as new.

My understanding is that the download facility is not available with a trial license, that you need to ask to be sent links to what you need.

You would have to go through Mathworks Sales and ask for a trial for a previous version, as R2015b was the last 32 bit version that will ever exist. Mathworks Sales may be reluctant to permit the trial, since you would have no reason to want to upgrade to later versions.

The only x86 based systems that I can find that have been made since about 2008 are the Intel "Atom" based systems, intended for smartphones and tablets. Those systems would be underpowered for running MATLAB, with memory limits too low for modern use.
