MATLAB: Upgrading Matlab for RTL-SDR support

rtl-sdrstudent

Hi, I currently own a R2012a student version of Matlab. I saw that the newest release, R2013b, has support for RTL-SDR dongles. My question is, is there a way to upgrade my current install to a version that will feature RTL-SDR compatibility? Do I have to buy a whole new license? Is there currently a Matlab student version that supports RTL-SDR dongles?
Thanks

Student Version MATLAB cannot be updated; you would need to buy a new license.
The newest Student Version is R2013a.
I am finding mixed hints as to whether R2013a or R2013b is required to use SDR. Some of the entries in the File Exchange date from a year ago (before R2013a was officially released), but I see that version 1.0 of the SDR support package is for R2013b.
