Mathworks software maintenance service contract

Walter Roberson on 2 Nov In the context of the Student licenses, software service gives access to all MATLAB updates and updates to your toolboxes for the period covered. It does not affect the length of your license; it is a way to keep up with the latest software versions.

Sharon Sledge on 17 Jan Do you need to renew the Software Maintenance Service for perpetual licenses as well? Walter Roberson on 17 Jan No, you only need to renew Software Maintenance Service for a perpetual license if you want to be able to create support cases, or continue to upgrade MATLAB to newer versions as they are released, or access archived documentation.

A perpetual license is a right to use that particular software version and the earlier versions forever; it does not, however, include the right to update to newer software releases.

Ambrose on 13 Aug It's worth noting that the mathworks policy of making no changes to your licence can leave you with unusable products even though you have paid for a perpetual licence.

If you have unassigned products and your maintenance expired then you will not be able to assign them to a licence to use them, meaning you've lost access to something that you have paid to use forever.

Also, you can make changes to your licence after maintenance expires, you can remove products from a licence. Of course, doing that destroys the product - be careful!
