Using Matlab R2022b from a non-admin account without admin password on Windows 10

I have free access to Matlab (full download and installation under the "Academic License") as a graduate student, provided by my university.

I need to set up Matlab R2022b on a bunch of PCs in a computer lab for students. I successfully installed and activated Matlab on the admin account. After that, I went to a student account (which is non-admin) to use Matlab, and I was prompted to open the application using my Admin password. I tried to open it using "Run as administrator", but I still needed to enter my admin password, which is not feasible as the PCs are intended to be used by students without admin privileges.

I then uninstalled Matlab completely, rebooted the PC, and reinstalled it while on the student account, but it still won't work (I tried both- reinstall it with and without "Run as administrator").

The app is not giving me any choices regarding the users even though it asks me to choose a user and a password. I can only see an option for the admin password and no option to select the other non-admin user (which doesn't have any password).

Please advise.
