Matlab student version not the latest version. How do I get a refund?

I bought the student version of Matlab yesterday. Although version 2014b is available, I got version 2014a. Why?

As most mac users know, Matlab 2014a is practically unusable with a Retina display. I know about the "tricks" concerning this issue (switch to low-res or change JRE), however, I don't want to do that. I want to install Matlab and then just use it.

I ask for a refund. What should I do?

Thanx.

R2014a is the latest student version, so you're using the latest.

The "b" versions are only for the full price customers. Historically, the student versions only come in the "a" versions which come out in March. Honestly for what you are probably going to do, you probably won't notice any difference . If you still don't want to use it then you'd have to contact them about a refund - we non-Mathworker volunteers don't know their policies regarding that.
