30 days test version for learning

Hello, I would like to install test version of MAtlab for my personal training, however before I install it is asking me to write my company name. the thing is I am not working anywhere, I dont have a company. what shall I do? how can I test the Matlab? Thanks a lot!

In that situation I would probably try to fill out the request form saying "Self Employed" and see where that takes me.

If that doesn't work or you get questions are uncomfortable answereing, then contact Mathworks Sales at <Product Support Page> and ask if you are eligible for a trial license. The Answers forum is not an official Mathworks site and respondents here have no authority nor power to help on such issues.

The alternative to learn something about how MATLAB works as a programming language would be to download and install Octave; it's a mostly "workalike" as far as base language features.

In case you are neither a student, nor employed, I recommend a Home license for private use.

[Walter Roberson]

Note that a Home License is much more restricted than a full individual license. It is, however, much much less expensive.

Correct. The differences are documented at the link above at the bottom.
