Ability to switch between MATLAB licenses?

Is it possible to use two licenses with MATLAB? Currently I use one of the licenses through my department at my university. I would like to buy the student version because I have to be connected to the university network in order to run MATLAB, thus I can not use it at home. However, I don't want to completely drop the department license because it has access to more toolboxes than I would under the student bundle. So, is there anyway where I can purchase the student bundle and just switch to that license when I want to work at home?

Thanks.

Steven, I see a couple of options:

The need to stay connected with your university network: Maybe your university has other options and the people you spoke with do not know or want to share. Contacting your MathWorks Account Manager may help to find a license matching your needs.

Student Version: If you are an enrolled student and purchase a Student Version, then you can install an use this offline, correct. And I am sure there is a way you can access one or the other licsense file, depending whether you are online of offline. There is a -c startup option pointing to the license file one wants to use. I am not sure about some side effects though. E.g. the Student Version has some (few) limitations and mixing installations and also related license agreements maybe a pain. So maybe having to parallel installations is a way.
