No, toolboxes of one version are not compatible with other Matlab versions. But you can download the bought toolboxes for the other Matlab versions also, as far as I know. Contact the sales team to get the required instructions or a trustworthy statement about the license conditions. Contacting TMW directly is better than asking in the forum, which is populated by voluntary Matlab users.

MATLAB: Suptitle in 2016a

Solved - found in another toolbox. It was included as part of a demo in the Bioinformatics Toolbox.

The below is from the doc file for it for future reference...

    suptitle puts a title above all subplots.
   suptitle('text') adds text to the top of the figure
   above all subplots (a "super title"). Use this function
   after all subplot commands.
    suptitle is a helper function for yeastdemo.

MATLAB: Upgrading from 2016a to 2016b

If you are under Software Maintenance Service then there is no cost. If you go to https://www.mathworks.com/downloads/web_downloads/select_release?mode=gwylf and it offers to let you download R2016b then you are fine.

If you are not under Software Maintenance Service, then your lowest cost option is probably to back-pay the Software Maintenance Service. Years ago the Mathworks policy was that you could back-pay up to 4 years; I do not know if that is still the case.

If for some reason you are not covered under maintenance and cannot back-pay the maintenance then you would need to re=purchase MATLAB (and any toolboxes you need) at full price. There is no "upgrade price" as such.
