I guess you're about the first person to mention an "upgrade from Prime to Mathcad". Great!

I assume you have a CD with Prime 2.0, with a license...

Just copy the entire contents to a USB stick and use that to install Prime 2.0

But you do not need to install Prime 2.0 to install Mathcad 15. You can user the same license that you have for Prime 2.0 to install and license Mathcad 15. You should be able to download Mathcad 15.0 from the PTC website.

Success!

Careful! That depends. While Prime and Mathcad 15 will happily share the same license file, this does not apply to the product codes!

If you have a product code to enter during install which begins with MP..., you are forced to install Prime first to get a license file. Then you can install Mathacd 15 and point it to this license file. Afterwards you can delete Prime - especially a good idea, given its Prime 2.

And yes, you are perfectly right in calling the switch from Prime to Mathcad 15 an upgrade

You can downlaod Mathcad 15 here

Don't be confused because its called a trial version. If you point it to a valid license file, it will be the full version.
