Best Answer

Yes, as long as you are registered in a degree-granting program. Mathworks does not care about the age of the student, only that they meet the requirements for being an official student. (Note: if you are registered as a high school or elementary school student, you can also get a student license.)

If you are not so registered, then you might wish to consider a Home license.

MATLAB: Can I use the Student Version of MATLAB after the course has ended

http://www.mathworks.com/academia/student_version/faq/index.html

Q.   For how long is my Student Version software activated?
A.   Your Student Version software is activated indefinitely. However, after four years you may need to re-submit proof of student status to activate it on a new machine. After you graduate you will need to purchase a professional license.
Q.   What are the acceptable uses for the Student Version?
A.   MATLAB and Simulink Student Version can be used for course work as long as you are enrolled at a degree-granting institution, including continuing education courses. Use in professional research conducted at universities and commercial use of Student Version software is strictly prohibited.

And then, from the Terms of Use (accessible from the help documentation)

5. LICENSE TERM.  The Student License may be acquired (as available) in one of two, separate term lengths, either the Standard Student License Term (for the standard Student Version License) or the One-Year Student License Term (for the Student Version One-Year License).  Licensees of the Standard Student License Term agree that their Student License expires automatically immediately after the duration of Licensee's enrollment in a degree-granting institution or participation in a continuing education program of a degree-granting institution.  Licensees of the One-Year Student License Term agree that their Student License expires automatically after one year, as measured from the date the Student License is first activated.

MATLAB: If I am no longer a student but want to learn MATLAB, what version should I buy

Unfortunately, if you do not qualify for the Student Version, then the only available license for personal use is the full commercial license. There is no "I'm not making any money from this!" license available.

You will probably want to purchase the Individual license (pretty much the default.) That will entitle you to install the software on several machines (e.g., a desktop and a laptop), as long as you are the only person using the software.

There are, however, sometimes cases where it makes sense to instead buy a Node Locked version, which can only be used on a single machine but can be used by anyone on that machine.
