As a long-term matlab user, i can assure you, it's not a problem to get a copy of a specific matlab version (if your license is in maintenance). However, just by looking at the code, you cannot identifiy which version of matlab you need to get. So you can only hope, it's somewhere in the metadata. But julia shares that problem.
