Click on your symbol in the top-right of this page, next to the telephone icon and click on 'My Account'. In your licencse list you should have a down arrow button for downloading. When you click this you get options for all the versions your license is valid for.

Thanks. My licences don't cover that version it seems. When I look to buy it, I'm only offered R2019a (latest release). Am I missing an archive of previous versions going back to R2016a?

Is there a particular reason you specifically need release R2016a? [If you were on a 32-bit OS, I could see you needing release R2015b as that was the last release supported on a 32-bit OS.] What's special about R2016a for your purposes?

I don't know honestly what a new license covers for backward usage. You'd be best asking Mathworks for that. My license has had continuous maintenance since around 2006 so I have access to a lot of previous versions (all the way back to R11.1, whatever that is!), but I only ever use the latest myself.

Thanks for the answers and comments.

The link below offers downloads on previous versions going back to 2015b:
