how I can open version 14 files with any trial version

[ptc-4514684]

We are in the process of purchasing latest version of MathCAD. I am told that it will be available throughout our office by later this spring.

Meanwhile I have several MathCAD 14 sheets that I am intended to use immediately. I downloaded trial version of MathCAD Prime 2. I tried to convert my files with XMCD converter, and it asks me that I need to have version 15 installed to be able to do this conversion. I wasn’t able to locate a version 15 trial download on the PTC website anywhere.

I also downloaded trial version of 14 with the hope that I would be able to open my files without conversion, and once it tries to obtain trial version license, it says that trial version 14 is no longer supported, and I should check for the latest versions, which I could not locate.

I appreciate if anyone can help me on this, how I can open version 14 files with any trial version.

Hello!

Here is a quote from "Mathcad Prime 2.0 Read This First":

"You must have Mathcad 15.0 M010 or later to convert worksheets that you created in

previous releases of Mathcad to Mathcad Prime 2.0. You cannot open previous Mathcad

worksheets directly. You must convert them using the Mathcad Prime 2.0 XMCD,

MCD Converter button on the Input/Output tab in Mathcad Prime 2.0. You can also

access the XMCD, MCD Converter from the Windows Start menu."

Mathcad 15.0 30-day free trial download can be found here: http://www.ptc.com/products/mathcad/mathcad-15-0/free-trial.htm

You can read about installation and licensing process for Mathcad 15 and Prime 2.0, here: http://blogs.ptc.com/2012/03/01/mathcad-licensing-part-3/

P.S. Also, you can attach the necessary Mathcad 14 files to the message and I will convert them into a format MCDX format (Mathcad Prime file format).
