How do I change the "use" on my MathWorks Account profile (i.e. Personal, Commercial, Research, Student, etc.)?
Best Answer
During the process of creating a MathWorks Account, you are required to submit an answer for "How will you use MathWorks software?"
While this information cannot be changed after it has been submitted, please note that the "Use" field will not affect your ability to associate to or purchase a specific type of License. For example, if you are a Student who plans to use a license provided by your school, choosing a use other than "Student" will not prevent you from associating to the school license.
The Department selected when creating your MathWorks Account also would not impact your ability to purchase a specific type of License, so you are able to select whichever Department listing that relates most prominently to your studies or occupation.
If your school has a Campus-Wide License for MATLAB you can use the Free ThingSpeak license for non-commercial work.
There are five types of ThingSpeak licenses:
Free – included with Campus-Wide License; create / sign in with MathWorks account
The advanced features of ThingSpeak, including additional channels and a faster update rate per channel, requires an additional purchase of one of the following licenses:
Standard – for use at a commercial, government, or other organization.
Academic – for use in teaching and academic research at a degree-granting institution.
Student – for use in conjunction with courses offered at a degree-granting institution.
Home - for personal use only. Not for government, academic, commercial, or other organizational use.
If your college has purchased an Academic license for ThingSpeak, you can ask your college administrator to add you as a Licensed End User on that license. You can compare license options and purchase a license on the How to Buy page.
You can install it on a different computer (like if you change/upgrade computers), or additional computers if you have the professional license. It's the same installer program regardless which computer you install it on.
