MATLAB: Previous versions of Symbolic Math Toolbox

Question

Hello,

Hope this message finds you well.

I have two different versions of MATLAB installed on my different computers R2018a and R2019a (don't ask me why, it's complicated). I realized that they have different versions of the Symbolic Math Toolbox. I have all my post-process code written wrt Symbolic Math Toolbox version 8.1, where the other computer has version 8.3 in R2019a.

Can I run the previous version of the Symbolic Math Toolbox in R2019a? I don't want to modify all my code, if it is possible to simply change the version.

Kind regards.

Answer 1

Running release X of a toolbox with release Y of MATLAB (where X is not the same as Y) is not supported.

Unless you're using functionality that was removed or changed between release R2018a and R2019a I would expect that generally the code you wrote using the older release of Symbolic Math Toolbox should work in the newer release.
