installing mathcad 13.1 on windows 10

[Ekrem_C]

  Hi,
  I have a copy of Mathcad 13.1 that I had purchased several years ago. At that time Microsoft operating system was Windows XP. After I install it on Windows 10, it gives me an error message that it cannot start "engine 12.0". Is it possible to properly install and run MC13.1 on Windows 10?

Thanks for your reply. I tried this and it didn't work. It still gives me the same error that it cannot start "engine 12.0".

I should think that is possible to install Mathcad 13 on Windows 10. The bigger problem is to get it licensed, considering:

Thanks for your reply, Luc. I haven't thought about getting it licensed after installation. I don't know if the error I get is related to licensing problem. But MC13 is made to properly install on Windows XP and I feel that Windows 10 doesn't meet the requirements of MC13. Installing it on Windows 10 in Windows XP mode also doesn't help.
