I am experiencing a similar problem with MCad 12 - for almost a year
it's been fine then, two weeks ago the requests for re-verification
started. After two or three of these episodes with automatic fixing
occurring, the automatic fix refused to work saying I'd had too many
automatic fixes (or something like that). I contacted MathCad
activation, explaining that I could no longer work given MCad has
stopped functioning. Several hours later I got a reply stating they
were passing my details to Adept Scientific in the UK as they didn't
handle UK requests.<br>
<br>
I have been waiting for a reactivation code ever since (that was two
days ago). Actually I gave up, got a colleague to convert my files to
2001i format and have been using 2001i ever since. Of course, the
format of the documents changed, causing more lost time.<br>
<br>
I will never purchase another Mathsoft product and am actively seeking
a replacement for this awful software. I would recommend that anybody
considering performing work in it to research other options. There may
come a time when you cannot access all the work you've done for the
last year too.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
<br>
