No, Mathcad15 is not officially compatible with Windows 11. It is recommended to check with the software manufacturer for any updates or compatibility information.

I am replacing my old computer with a new one. Mathcad 14 was working on the old computer. I ran the license authenticator on the new computer and it said Mathcad was ready to use. However when I tried the program, it said "Unable to create 12.0 engine factory." The program I have is an educational version.

I have a license for MathCAD 8 for Windows, which worked on Windows 7, 32 bits. I just changed my computer: this one is 64 bits with Windows 10. Can I install Mathcad 8 and can I recover my .mcd files produced with this version on my new computer?
I thank you in advance. Best regards. F. Voldoire

Is Mathcad 2001 compatible with Windows 7 (32bit and/or 64bit)? If not, is there an update which can solve this problem? If so, what would it cost?

Answer by Andrew Constandache

The released versions of Mathcad are as follows: 8, 2000, 2001, 2001i, 11, 12, 13, 14 and 15. As I can see, 2001 version is not compatible with Windows 7 but latest version (15) is compatible with Windows 7 (32 and 64bit). The price is established when you want to buy the product because you will be asked about modules and other components. In single user mode the application costs approximately 1900 $.

Product Name : Mathcad 11
License Number : 317898XXXX
Product Code : JE110301KD0624-XXXX-XXXX
Request Code : UFYT-DD0Y-QCA0-XXXX


I bought MathCAD 11 some years ago. I reset my computer and need to activate MathCAD 11. Will you please activate it for me? The Mathsoft activation server does not respond.

A
Answer by Alex Urbach

You shouldn't post activation info on the Internet because someone else might get them and activate this very expensive application. Make sure that the firewall is turned off on your PC, or at least it allows MathCAD to reach the activation server.


If you indeed believe it's their problem, contact the developers and explain exactly what's happening.

How long is the MathCAD trial good for? What happens when the trial is over? Do l need to put in my credit card to download the trial?

By default, MathCAD is available for 30 days. You can obtain it from its official website. There is no requirement that involves using a credit card. You have the possibility to download the application for free for 30 days and then you can buy it if you want. To download it, fill the form on the official website.

I own Mathcad 7 Pro (it is necessary to install the update for Mathcad 8 Pro). I have problems installing it on 64-bit machine. But the system with updates and NumRec perfectly served my purposes.

Answer by Alex Urbach

The software won't work on a 64bit operating system, but there is a trick to make it work. Install version 7 on a XP machine and then directly copy the installation folder to the 64bit machine. Most apps have issues with the installers. After this procedure, download the version 8 update and apply it directly to the installation folder. If it doesn't find anything (states the software isn't installed), then go to the XP machine and type Start > Run > regedit. Locate the software in the HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE_Software and export the whole Mathcad folder. Copy the file on the new machine and merge it, then re-apply the update.
