Using MathCad 15 and Prime 1.0: Prime 1.0

I need some help regarding the use of both mentioned programs...

My school uses MathCad 15 in class for lectures and working on assignments....

When purchasing programs for this semester I could not find MathCad 15 for sale so I purchased Prime 1.0, being told it was exactly the same with just a different style of UI.

Finding out now that Prime 1.0 seems to be missing some of the functionality of MathCad 15 I downloaded/installed MathCad 15 using my product key from Prime 1.0....

However, the installation comes back as succesfull but I cannot locate MathCad 15 anywhere....Its almost as if MathCad 15 will not fully install due to Prime 1.0 being already installed???

I must have a full student version of MathCad 15 (no 30 day trials)....

I really need MathCad 15 for school, but I have already purchased Prime 1.0...HELP!!!

You should have received a full working version of Mathcad 15 with Prime, as Prime required Mathcad 15 for the conversion of older worksheets.

What Windows OS are you using? Check this directory: "C:\Program Files\Mathcad".

On Windows 7, Mathcad 15 installs in C:\Program Files (x86)\Mathcad\Mathcad 15.

If you are still having trouble, go to http://www.ptc.com/support/mathcad_supportCenter.htm, you will have to set up a basic account on the website, if you don't already have one.


Also check in Control Panel > Features and Programs, to see if Mathcad 15 installed.

I had the same issue initially.

The MathCAD 15 was actually on the Programs list of the startup menu, but for some reason outside of the MathCAD folder
