MATLAB: Matlab license upgradation from one Version to Another

mat lab license upgradation

Hi MathWorks,
We have a license for the matlab R2012b and we have currently installed R2012b in our machines. Recently we have bought new matlab version (r2014a) and the license. So, If we are installing the new version of matlab in our machines and replace the current license file(R2012b) with matlab R2014a license.
Can we revert back the license to R2012b later on by uninstalling R2014a and reinstalling R2012b?
If yes , please mention the steps to be followed to revert back to previous version.

When you have an older release - e.g. R2012b in your case - installed and then plan to install a newer release (here R2014a or R2014b) using the same license, you can simply install it in parallel to your existing installation. You do not have to do anything with the license file of the older installation.
Technically, I always recommend to work with the two releases in paralell, as typically you will not upgrade all you code and models at one point in time, but only when you need to make changes. I recommend working in different working directories!
