Mathcad Prime 2.0 License Problem

KHecht — Thu, 26 Oct 2017 20:35:49 GMT

I recently purchased a student version of Mathcad Prime 2.0. An IP address is required to obtain the license file. I gave the IP address on the sticker on the back of my laptop (00-FF-1E-10-1C-44), but the license didn't work. I am unable to request another license online since

Kristin,

Did you contact PTC through http://www.ptc.com/support/mathcad_supportCenter.htm?

To get your address:

In the Start menu type in cmd so you see cmd.exe or

Click on cmd.exe so you see a black window.

Type in ipconfig /all

You should see a line labeled physical address. That's the one you want to use. If you see several, pick the first one.

Also you can use MAC-adress reader utility:

I can't contact PTC through the given link with a basic account. Since I only have an order number but no customer number, I can't expand my account.

I've attached ipconfig.log with all of the information about my computer.

I couldn't get anything out of the MAC-address utility. It runs, I guess, but it never shows any response. When I run PTC's CPU_ID.exe from the command prompt, I get: PTC HOSTID=00-26-82-AD-1E-2D

However, when I try to load the Mathcad license, I see Host-ID: F0-DE-F1-00-DE-CC.

With the license received I get the following message: C:\Program Files\Mathcad\sw_license_email_1557468.dat: (-9) Invalid host.

I'm not sure at this point which IP address is right, or how to get help with getting another license issued that would work with my computer.

Kristin,

I suggest you contact

http://www.ptc.com/support/mathcad_supportCenter.htm

You have to create a basic account on the PTC website, and then on the next screen, choose that you are a student.

Someone from technical support will help you.

Good luck and write back in a couple of days if you haven't received help.

Steve,

If you are using a Schools edition of Wildfire 5.0 you will not have access to the Boundary Blend functionality. This is only available in the Student edition which is probably what you have in your classroom.

Regards,

Adam

Thanks Mona. Technical support had me change the order or port number of the card used for the internet connection and got me a new license file that works.
