Mathcad Express (Prime 6 & 7) Watermark

Mathcad Express (Prime 6 & 7) Watermark

Starting with Prime 6, the watermark indicating that "Prime Express" was active ("Created with PTC Mathcad Express....") moved from the page footer to a watermark that goes diagonal across the entire page.  This huge banner is very distracting and makes the "Express" version way less usable.  Per discussion with Mathcad technical support this was done at the request of a customer so that when using Mathcad it was obvious "Express" was being used and some calculations may not be updating. I think it is quite clear with the watermark in the page footer plus the "PTC Mathcad Express" below the menu bar (and calculations not supported in "Express" will indicate an error).  Please move the watermark back to the footer (like Prime 5) or provide the functionality to select where the "Express" watermark is displayed.

Hi QV_8300850 and welcome to the Community!

 

Mathcad Express is a free version of the product - even though there's a lot of functionality reserved for the commercial version, there's a lot you can do with Express. With Prime 6, we made the decision to change the location and display of the watermark in Express based on multiple business reasons. This was not an impulsive decision and was made after a number of discussions based on various aspects of our product and business. Like before, the watermark can be removed by pointing the application to a valid license. 

 

Many thanks for your feedback,

 

Andy.
