Will my E-Books and Function Packs from Mathcad 15 work with Mathcad Prime? Can I have both Mathcad 15 and Mathcad Prime installed and running on my computer?

You can run Mathcad Prime 1.0 and future releases of Mathcad Prime simultaneously with Mathcad 15. In fact you need the current version of Mathcad 15 to convert worksheets from earlier versions of Mathcad into Mathcad Prime, so we sell them as one bundle.

The Data Analysis, Signal Processing, and Image Processing functions and E-book content was merged directly into Mathcad Prime 1.0, so you no longer need to purchase them separately.

Mathcad Prime 1.0 does not have an E-book facility, so you would need to convert E-book content into Mathcad Prime 1.0 or 2.0 when it releases.

The loss of the E-books was the major reason why I will be using Mathcad 15.0 as

long as I am able. I have Roarks, Basic techniques, Advanced techniques, Machine

design, Building structural design (somewhat outdated but still useful), Building

thermal analysis, Electrical and Electronic engineering and several others I don't use.

To convert those would be too time consuming.

I know that Roarks is available on Knovel. That also removes an easily accessed

feature to a secondary program i.e. inconvenient.

I have also advised the other engineers at my location to not change for this reason.

I know that other Math programs (TK Solver) offer add-ons such as Roarks. So I am

not sure why PTC choose to break those handy links.

Just saying I am very disappointed.

Also, this article on installation and licensing Mathcad Prime 1.0 can be useful too:
