I'm receiving a warning that my license will expire in 2 months. What will happen when the date is overdue?
Can I still use my old version of matlab, without upgrades and support?
Thanks

Most licenses never expire, but software maintenance expires. The Home version is always a "perpetual license"; any Professional license you purchased individually is very likely a "perpetual license"; Student Version licenses are typically "perpetual license". Trial licenses are, though, "term licenses".
However, there are some Student Version licenses that are only good for 8 months or 1 year, and there are Student Version licenses issued for online courses that are only good during the course.
Also, some large organizations license for limited times, as it can be easier to get funding for a "service" than for an "purchase".
When a "perpetual" license expires, you might lose access to some mathworks.com documentation for older versions; you would continue to be able to access your own version's documentation from within the program.
When a "perpetual" license expires, you will still be able to download the last version covered by your maintenance contract, and all earlier versions, but you will not be able to download newer versions.
When a "perpetual" license expires, you will no longer be able to create new technical support cases, except ones involving installation and licensing.
When a "term" license expires, the software can no longer be used. However, if you created an executable using MATLAB Compiler, it will continue to be usable, with the exception that executables created using Trial licenses will expire as well.

Adding to Walter's response: It is either a trial (you would know of) or your organization purchased a license that expires. Then on the day x you cannot use. Ask your administrator.

It's worth adding too that when a "perpetual" licence for a ToolBox expires AND is unassigned you will not be able to reassign it to a licence since this is against mathworks policy.
In effect, any orphaned products that you have paid for "perpetual" licences become lost and unusable. So, make sure all your ToolBoxes are assigned to licences before the termination of maintenance.
Handily, the ability to remove products from a licence is still operable - if you do this you will lose your products and not be able to get them back.

I believe so. There are people here using unbelievably old versions and I'm pretty sure they have not been paying the annual maintenance fees.

Call or email the Mathworks directly if you want authoritative answers to any licensing questions. You won't get them here. Even the Mathworkers here in this forum say to do that.
