How to enable a pushbutton after five clicks on another pushbutton?

I have pushbutton1 to save values and pushbutton2 to plot this values. pushbutton2 is disabled, I want to enable it after clicking pushbutton1 five times.

In the opening function for your GUI, set the UserData property to 0 and disable pushbutton2:
handles.pushbutton1.UserData = 0; % No button presses so far.
handles.pushbutton2.Enable = 'off'; % Disable pushbutton 2 at the start.
Then in the pushbutton1 callback increment it and enable pushbutton 2 if the count is 5.
handles.pushbutton1.UserData = handles.pushbutton1.UserData + 1;
if handles.pushbutton1.UserData == 5
handles.pushbutton1.UserData = 0; % Reset count to 0.
handles.pushbutton2.Enable = 'on'; % Enable pushbutton 2.
end
I'm attaching a simple demo that works.

thanks for your answer but it doesn't work.
Try the attached demo. It works for me. (I edited the answer above to also include the same files.)
Thanks. the problem is that this assignement (handles.pushbutton1.UserData = 0) doesn't work in my matlab r2009a.
