Question: Is 2020a Network-Named User license backwards compatible for older versions

Currently I have the license server with a license file for 2019a installed on my server for network-named users. I would like to upgrade it to a newer 2020a license file. Will the network-named users that are currently using 2019a still be able to continue using their version or will they need to upgrade to 2020a as well? Basically, can I use older versions of  Matlab with a newer license file on my license server?

    Yes, newer license servers are backwards compatible (provided that you do not need "Bug-for-bug" compatibility)
