How to use previous version of matlab online?

I have a code written in matlab 2012a and I want to use matlab 2012a to run it online. However, my online version is 2020b. Can you suggest a way to use the previous version online ?

As per documentation of MATLAB ONLINE, you can access the latest version of MATLAB. We currently do not support the previous versions of MATLAB online. I have brought this issue to the concerned people and it might be considered in any future release.

Is there any update regarding using older versions in MATLAB online ?

I also want to use the older version in MATLAB online, but failed.

If the answer is still "no", then maybe it would be fruitful to explain why you need a 12 year old version. Some things may have changed, but without any other information, we can only guess whether there's a way to avoid the necessity.

I need to convert a 2025a Simulink model to 2017a.

In order to convert a newer simulink model to an older version, you need to be running the newer version.

You might be able to use Simulink from MATLAB Online to do the conversion.

Note: If you happen to be using Simscape Electrical or Simscape Electrical Specialized Power System, then there is no way to convert a recent version to a version as old as R2017a. Simscape Electrical was reorganized somewhere around R2022a, and there just is no way to convert newer Simscape Electrical models to older versions.
