Question

How can I find the current date code currently installed?

I have seen that there is an M005 update to MathCad, but cannot tell if it is installed. How? Also, the fields in the About box where the license usually shows are blank. Is it supposed to be this way? I have fully paid for MC15 with support.

Robert, got to help => about MC => the first line in bold should state: "Mathcad 15.0 (M005 [MC15_M005_20101105])"

Hello!

If you have a license Mathcad, the window "About Mathcad" version for M005 would look like (there are no empty fields):

Mike,

Do You have a floating or locked license for Mathcad?

Thank you all for your help. It appears that I am still using datecode F000 as evidenced by a version number of 14.1.0.436 when looking at the mathcad.exe properties:

Regarding the blank license fields, here is my screen shot of the about window:

I have fully paid for a license for MathCad, with maintainence. Is there a problem with the existing installation? Will updating to M005 fix it? Or do I need to do a complete uninstall and reinstall to M005? If so what is the best procedure?

As a general comment for PTC: It seems that since PTC bought MathCad, doing obvious things concerning software maintainance has gotten incredibly cumbersome and non-intuitive. The "PTC factor" has been a relative pain, and eats up a lot time trying to look into basic things. The finding out whether one has the latest version should take seconds rather than the better part of an hour!

    No. Ignore what the .exe properties say. I have M005 installed and the .exe proerties say 14.1.0.457. I am certain my installatin is OK.

    You don't have M005 installed. If you did the "About Mathcad" screen would say M005, like Valdimir's

    Richard,

    Thanks for your response. I understand now that I don't have M005 installed. However, I was specifically referring now to the blank license fields. Why are they blank? Should I be concerned about it? Will the license fields be populated correctly once M005 is installed?
