R2015aSP1 and later

NOTE: You will need to be a License Administrator to download these files. To download and install a MATLAB

Update manually, please follow the steps below:

1. Navigate to https://www.mathworks.com/downloads/
2. Click the release you wish to apply an update to.
3. On this page, in the "I WANT TO:" drop-down select "Get Updates", scroll down and click "Get Update Package for Offline Installation". This page will have the most recent update. 
4. On the left side of the screen, select the release you want to download. You may need to click on show more to find the release you are looking for.
5. Click the blue-button labeled 'Download for XXX" to download the MathWorks Installer. NOTE: The "XXX" corresponds to the operating system; the default operating system shown is derived from the machine that you are accessing the Downloads page on. To download the MathWorks Installer for another operating system than the one listed, select the down arrow to the right of the blue button.
6. Follow these instructions to install the update offline. Please note that this procedure can be performed only if you have administrator rights: https://www.mathworks.com/help/install/ug/update-mathworks-software-on-offline-machine.html

I don't see any "Related Links" at https://www.mathworks.com/downloads

You will have to click into the release you wish to download before you will see the Related Links.

It still doesn't show up, even when here: https://www.mathworks.com/downloads/web_downloads/download_release?release=R2019b

Then, you may not be a License Administrator. Only License Administrators have access to the offline update files.

This doesn't work! I need an offline installer for a air-gapped network. I'm the license administrator and there is no link (apart from requirements and instructions) when opening the release as stated in your step 3.

3. After selecting the release, in Related Links, click Get R20XXx Updates

4. On this page, in Related Links, click R20XXx Administrator Update Package for Offline Installation

So how do I get this installer and will that procedure be valid for the future?

Why does it have to be so hard to get offline updates? I need latest update for 2018b and, yes you guessed it, no related link on download page.
