Question

Error: This file is not compatible with your actual version of Mathcad because it's from a newer version

Good evening.

I cannot open my Mathcad files. The error message above appears. The files cannot be from a newer version of Mathcad as I have always used MathCad Prime 3.0. Any ideas how to solve this problem?

I downloaded MathCad Prime 3.1 Express and it opens the files now. However this is VERY BAD because my student licence is only for MathCad Prime 3.0 and that version just got removed from my computer when I installed 3.1!!!

Well, you should expect that installing the later version of the software would remove the earlier version. Uninstall 3.1 and install 3.0 again.

You can't open a 3.1 file using 3.0, and 3.1 cannot save a file in 3.0 format. This is amazing, but true. So there is no solution. Sorry.

There is only one possible working out in this situation: before installing version Prime 3.1 copy the entire folder with the program Prime 3.0 version (for example on the desktop) and then after installing 3.1 you ca use it a 3.0 version too, but a worksheets conversion will only work for the 3.1 version
