Since january 2015 the SISSA scientific staff and students who really need it, can install their own home version of MATLAB.

In the following you find two different kind of home license installations:

• Home license for SISSA scientific Staff
• Home license for SISSA Students

You can use your home license for academic research, not available for government, commercial, or other organizational use.

For the installation you will need an Activation Key, available here: …………………VPN Group password page

See here How to download and install your Matlab Home software.

Student software is for use by students to meet course requirements and perform academic research at degree granting institutions only. It is not available for government, commercial, or other organizational use.

Students can have up to 4 (four) home licenses (this means, for example, that they can install Matlab-home on two different laptops and two different home desktops, or to both your windows and linux operating systems in the same laptop and/or desktop)
Here you find instructions about how to install a Student home Matlab license


What are the difference between student software and the professional version of MATLAB?

Student software provides you with the same power and functionality as the professional version of MATLAB. There are a few small differences between the student software interface and the professional version of MATLAB:

• The prompt in student software is EDU»
• Printouts contain this footer: Student Version of MATLAB

Simulink in student software provides the full functionality of the professional version of Simulink, with the following differences:

• Models (including the blocks in referenced models) are limited to 1000 blocks
• Accelerator and Rapid-Accelerator simulation modes are not available in student software
• Model blocks can be used in Normal mode only
• Printouts contain this footer: Student Version of MATLAB

To check:

MATLAB Home provides you with the same power and functionality as the professional version of MATLAB. The difference is that MATLAB Home is only available for personal use, and cannot be used for government, academic, research, commercial, or other organizational purposes.
