Question:
How long do I have access to my personal MATLAB license?

...

Answer:
If you need access to a toolbox that the University doesn't currently license, talk to the faculty member most closely associated with the work you are doing. If your need for it is temporary, we can get you access to a trial version of the toolbox in most cases. Should it turn into a long-term need, individual departments may decide to purchase additional toolboxes at the beginning of the academic year during our license renewal period.
