Student version for Mathworks 2012b Release

When i can buy the 2012b-Version for Student????? Can i use a unused key from 2011 for activation for the 2012b Version

I would check with your school/university to see if you have access to download from them. Some universities offer the latest versions directly to their students.

That is a good suggestion. I have seen students purchasing a Student Version not knowing their respective unversity had a campus license (AKA Total Acadademic Campus license student use)

This is a forum for technical topics. Even if you are receiveing an answer here, you can't be sure it is correct. E.g. the rules may be different by country.

Call MathWorks

I'm pretty sure I remember someone saying before that Student releases only occur with the March "a" releases, not the September "b" releases. You can still get a Student version for "R2012a" in that case.

I agree that the best available indicator for predicting the future often is looking into the past ;-) but this is exactly why I recommend contacting MathWorks. You can't be sure.

R2008a Student Version did not exist, but R2008b Student Version did. That is the only b-series Student Version that has existed so far -- and that is a fact that has not varied by country.

The license keys are release specific. An R2011a key cannot be used with any version other than R2011a.
