MATLAB: How many installs come with the student version of Matlab

student

I have a desktop and a laptop and it'd be nice if I could put the student version of Matlab on both.

Best Answer

You need to check the license that came with your version. Enter the command
doc
and then when the documentation viewer comes up, in the middle bottom there will be a link named "Terms of Use"; click on that to see your license. You may have to search down to find the relevant parts.
At the time that I purchased my (non-Student) version, it said,
The Student License and Home License each permit the Licensee to use the
Programs on one Computer that Licensee owns or leases provided (i) the Programs
are only accessible to, and used by, Licensee, and (ii) Licensee has provided
machine-specific identification for such Computer through the registration and
activation process.  Network installation is prohibited.
My recollection (possibly faulty) is that historically the restriction was that Students could install on two computers but only use one at a time. That may have changed -- and it might have changed again since I purchased my software.
