Depends entirely for what reason it doesn't run. 2006 is certainly very old, but there is no one specific reason I am aware of why an old script wouldn't run in the latest version. Some functions do get removed over time though, usually after a period of warning in the help to use an alternative, but in 10 years quite a few of these will have lapsed and been removed so one of these may be the source of your problem.
You need to give more detail as to "does not run" though. Is there an error message?

What does "does not run" mean? Is it giving an error, is it causing Matlab to crash, or is it just not doing anything?
If it's not doing anything: 1. try to display any text on the command window; At the top of your m-file type "disp(['Running ' mfilename])" without the double quotes. This should display the name of your m-file in the command window. If this doesn't work then try re-installing Matlab.

Check the error message, and replace the functions that are not available in the newest version
