I have not heard of provision for student MATLAB being upgraded to Home MATLAB; I can see some sense in doing so, but I am not aware of it being in the price book.
Home MATLAB is only for your personal projects, and cannot be used on company equipment. In most circumstances if you are using it in a workplace, you probably should not be.
But... if you get permission from the company to use the microscopes after hours, on your own time, and using your own computer, to make non-monetized YouTube videos of dancing tardigrades, that you post on a personal non-sponsored channel, then I don't think Mathworks would have any complaint.
