MATLAB: Does Matlab R2018b will receive updates of R2019a

Question

Hello,

I am thinking to buy Matlab R2018b (Student Version) but I was wondering to wait till R2019a version to be released.

Or does Matlab R2018b will receive updates of R2019a?

Please advice!

Answer 1

I contacted the customer service and reply:

You always earn the student version with one year maintenance.

This means that if a new release is available within a period of 12 months after acquisition, it is entitled to download and use it and will also be informed about it.

Any further maintenance renewal of the license must then be performed by you at a cost
