The new symbolic engine has improved error notifications and faster performance. What is different in the new symbolic engine versus the old one?

Your existing licenses will continue to work through the expiration date in your license file. Will my existing license stop working on December 31st? The deadline for the multi-year subscription is December 7th – not December 31st! The licenses must be activated by December 31st. You can purchase a multi-year license, up to four years, for Mathcad 15 or Mathcad Prime 1.0 through 6.0.
#MATHCAD POLYROOTS UNITS NOT COMPATIBLE UPGRADE#
If you cannot upgrade from Mathcad 15 to Prime 7, do not worry.

What if I want or need to stay on Mathcad 15? Yes, Mathcad Prime 7 has been available since March 11, 2021. This FAQ will hopefully provide reassurance regarding your path forward. PTC will no longer have rights to use the third-party proprietary engine after December 31st of this year.Īs a Mathcad user since version 13, I understand the unexpected nature of this change. Mathcad Prime 6.0 contained both a new PTC-controlled symbolic engine as well as the third-party engine. The versions of Mathcad before Prime (13, 14, and 15) as well as Prime 1.0 through 5.0 used a third-party proprietary engine for symbolic calculation. After December 31, 2021, the only version of PTC Mathcad available to new customers will be Mathcad Prime 7.
