We are trying to get our MathCAD users to use MathCAD Prime 8 instead of MathCAD 15. When they go to open a 15 file in Prime 8, it is asking for a 15 license. We have removed all 15 licenses to force them to upgrade.
Why does MathCAD Prime 8 require a MathCAd 15 license to open and convert a file? This will be a major draw back in getting the users to upgrade.
Solved! Go to Solution.
PTC Mathcad Prime cannot directly open legacy Mathcad files. You will need to use Mathcad Prime 8's built-in worksheet converter tool to convert the worksheets into Mathcad Prime file format, and then you will be able to open them.

Ben,
First you need to convert the file, and then open it.
