Will update to 2019 from 2018 cause issues? Will the Toolbox trial I selected be installed with it?

I have ML 2018 student. I'd like to try out the Mapping Toolbox. I selected to download the Mapping Toolbox trial but it appears that what was downloaded was a ML 2019 installer. Will the Mapping toolbox be installed with it? What effect will the new installation have on my ML 2018? I recall being inconvienced when going from 2017 to 2018 (searchpath, file locations, etc.).

You cannot mix the toolboxes of two different releases of MATLAB. The release of the toolbox must match with the release of MATLAB. This is required to ensure the full compatibility of each product with every other product within a release. Updgrade to MATLAB 2019 for using 2019 toolbox

Hope this helps!
