Go to your Mathworks account page. On the left there is a panel with a list of links divided into sections. In the section "My Downloads" there is a link called "Get Licensed Products and Updates". Follow that link and you will find options to download previous releases.

These instructions can be used for R2014a and later. Earlier releases use a different installer.

Step 1: access https://www.mathworks.com/downloads/web_downloads/ in your browser

Step 2: on the left side, select "Show More"

Step 3: still on the left side, select Show All

Step 4: click on R2014a (or as appropriate for your needs)

In the middle, a blue box will offer a platform.

Step 5a: If it is the wrong platform for you, click on the downwards triangle

Step 5b: and then click on the platform you do want.

Steps 5a and 5b may be omitted if it is already showing the platform you want.

Step 6, when it is showing the platform you want, click the blue button

Step 7: the installer will start downloading automatically, or possibly you will be asked where you want to store the downloader. The message that comes up will also show what MATLAB Central username you will need to authenticate against for this license.
