Hi,
I am considering to but Matlab student license with some add-ons. After I bought it can I continue to use the version I bought for lifetime without paying? And my school email account will be taken away from me once I graduated, can change my account email address to my personal address and continue using my student license after that point? Thanks in advance.

If you're looking for something essentially free on a continuing basis, consider Octave; the student license is precisely what it implies; for a student to use while a student in support of his academic career.

"After I bought it can I continue to use the version I bought for lifetime without paying?"
Yes, MATLAB Student License is perpetual - See here
However, As a matter of license terms - Student licenses can only be used while you are enrolled/registered in an eligible degree granting program.
Also, you would want to go through the T&C's and License terms based on your region.
Best to contact TMW for the same - Contact Sales

Which, just to be clear, means that you can use it indefinitely only as long as you are a student.

  • Installation: You can install the license on up to four computers, but you cannot run MATLAB on more than one at the same time.
  • Software Maintenance Service (SMS): The initial purchase includes one year of SMS. This must be renewed annually to continue receiving software updates and technical support.
  • Upgrades: After your SMS expires, you can still use the version of the software that was available when your maintenance ended, but you won't be eligible for future upgrades.
  • Transfer and Sharing: You cannot let anyone else copy or access the software or share the license key.
