MATLAB: Do I need a special license to get access to 64-bit MATLAB

MATLAB

I am considering purchasing MATLAB, but would like both the 32-bit and 64-bit versions. I would like to know if I need two separate licenses.

Best Answer

There are no special license requirements for the MATLAB 64-bit version. The only exception is the MATLAB Student version. Due to product incompatibilities, the Student Version is 32-bit only.
To obtain access to the 64-bit MATLAB, you simply need to install using the 64-bit installer for your platform if it is available. If you are using the DVD to install, if you have a 64-bit machine, it will be installed automatically.
For a list of supported 64-bit operating systems, see the system requirements page here:
