Question

MATHCAD 15 No Longer Available

This has affected me again.  This has been a recurring problem.  I responded to Mitch G. and fully explained my situation.  He provided NO HELP.  Just sent me to a website that was no help.

 

My 10 year-old PC is showing signs of failing.

 

I still have my original Product Code and MED-60602-CD-150_M050.zip file, as well as the unzipped files, plus my sales receipt indicating my license is perpetual for my academic version of MATHCAD 15.  I also have my original license file.

 

Apparently, MATHCAD 15 cannot be re-installed with all my above original information without having to contact PTC; it will this be another painful process?

 

I have been using MATHCAD since well before PTC took over.  I think I started with MATHCAD 3, definitely before MATHCAD 6.  After PTC took over MATHCAD, the licensing and installation were the most painful, convoluted processes I have ever encountered with newly purchased software.

 

I guess I am out of luck and will have to seek alternatives.

Hi,

try http://support.ptc.com/support/mathcad_supportCenterSingleUser.htm page to move your license from OLD MAC address to NEW MAC address.

OLD MAC address = physical address of network card installed in old computer

NEW MAC address = physical address of network card installed in new computer

Thanks. I have that on my PC also. However, I am having trouble getting a function to fit data. No one has been able to explain the inputs for fit(5) or fit(6). As long as I am not trying to fit data, it works well.

Hello @regcurry . In the past I had good results with the function finder at http://www.findcurves.com/ but this was a year or more ago. If still working it might be some help. As I remember, you could upload a file of your datapoints and the function finder would propose several alternative fitting functions.
