Question

XCMD,MCD Converter

I just purchased and licensed Mathcad Prime 7.0.0 and want to check that it correctly converts the XCMD files we create with Mathcad 15.  The PTC 'Migration Guide' says: "To start the XMCD, MCD Converter ... click 'XMCD, MCD Converter".  When I do this, it says to install XMCD, MCD Converter  using 'setup'.  It also says "Alternatively, you can start it from the Start menu".

 

But, I can't find either .'setup' or the Start menu.  Please advise.

That's weird. I can even start the converter interface from the free Prime Express.

But then it tells me I have no license (to actually start a conversion).

Are you sure you've installed Prime 7 properly?

Does it 'function', entering and evaluating expressions?

Success!

Can you provide a screenshot of this error?
