I am currently using R2008b student version and I think about upgrading to R2015a. Back then R2008b was 50 EUR, R2015a is now 70 EUR. Is there an upgrade or is "buy new" the only option?
Second: Does R2015a need to be re-activated from time to time or is the activation only required upon installation? Specifically: I also run Mathematica (over my university) and here the license is only valid for 6 months and then I need to re-activate which I discourage. By contrast, my current R2008b needs to be activated after installation but afterwards. Did there change anything to R2015a?
Third: Do I need to add addon products when ordering MATLAB itself or can I order specifical toolboxes afterwards as needed?
And fourth: I have read that the student version includes 1 year of upgrade assurance but additional assurance can be bought. Where can it be bought and what is the cost?
