Old Version Matlab on Mac

I have a license on Matlab R2009a, I like to transfer this license to MacBook Air. However, the application does not seem to work on Mac running Yosemite. I tried to search online for solutions but found none for old version of Matlab on Mac. Would you please provide a step-by-step instruction for installing Matlab R2009a on Mac. Appreciate it.

R2009a for Mac was a 32 bit product for Intel CPU. I know that Apple went through the Universal Binary phase but I do not know if 32 bit binaries are still supported under Yosemite.
