They cannot force you to use it, but I suspect one day in the near future PTC will cease support for M15 and the user will have to make a choice. Use an old unsupported piece of software or take the plunge.......

They have promoted this way to get Prime out and in the public eye. Prime has enough fundamental tools for new users and (very) basic operations, which will allow them to sell to colleges and universities.

I need it!
