I am student ,since I want to dawnload Matlab 2019a for acadamic purpose. so please help me how can I get your app?
https://www.mathworks.com/downloads/ and on the left hand side there is a Select Release column.
If R2024a is the only release available to you, then that indicates that you are using an account that has no licenses.
If no releases are available to you, then that indicates that you are using a university account at a university that has restricted downloads; in that case you would need to put in a request to the IT department.
pls download

If you have authorization to download MATLAB then
However, license adminstrators can block end users from downloads. Also, my understanding is that Student licenses do not have access to download previous releases.

Thanks heaps for quick response. I have downloaded and installed the 2019a.
Hi, can you explain how you installed a previous version?
If your license is already authorized:
https://www.mathworks.com/downloads/ and on the left hand side there is a Select Release column. If necessary click on Show All there to see older versions. Click on the version on the left that you want.
Depending on how old the version is, you will either be brought to a page to download an installer, or else you will need to download a number of different files
If that Downloads page does not offer you a Select Release then you are not authorized to download old releases with the license you have associated with your MATLAB Central account.

If that does not work, then one of the following is true:
  • your MATLAB Central account is not associated with any license; or
  • your MATLAB Central account is associated with a license whose Software Maintenance Service expired some time before R2019a; or
  • your MATLAB Central account is associated with a university or organization which has restricted downloading MATLAB; in that case you will need to contact your IT department
Note that downloading older versions of MATLAB requires a valid license. The only "free" versions of MATLAB are the occasional top prizes for Mathworks contests.
