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,
