Question

Mathcad 15 using Mathcad 14 registry keys for licensing

Hi,

 

mclicense.exe "I want to configure Mathcad to use FlexLM server", bundled with Mathcad 15 package creates the following registry keys:

 

KEY_CLASSES_ROOT\VirtualStore\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Mathsoft\Mathcad 14\FlexLM\LicensePath

 

Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Classes\VirtualStore\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Mathsoft\Mathcad 14\FlexLM\LicensePath

 

Computer\HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2828309461-2785570631-1443817629-104847\SOFTWARE\Classes\VirtualStore\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Mathsoft\Mathcad 14\FlexLM\LicensePath

 

Computer\HKEY_USERS\S-1-5-21-2828309461-2785570631-1443817629-104847_Classes\VirtualStore\MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Mathsoft\Mathcad 14\FlexLM\LicensePath

 

Is there a reason Mathcad 14 and not Mathcad 15 is used in registry hive? We use Microsoft SCCM/Software Center endpoint management software to automate deployment of software to enduser devices, these use a windows powershell scripts to set license registry details, and using wrong version numbers gets confusing. Also it appears that windows PTC_D_LICENSE_FILE system environment variable is ignored?

 

Many Thanks,
