Talk to Mathcad/mathsoft/adept. As far as I know there is no problem in getting a nodelocked FlexLM version at no change in cost. It is a normal package option, probably classed as an 'Enterprise vesrion'

Mcad 11 gave me all kinds of grief. Acronis Disk Director Suite 10
revealed that it writes a bunch of license-related stuff on absolute
sector 32. And now Mcad is not on my PC anymore. I would consider Mcad
again if they offered a single user FlexLM license in place of C_Dilla
(AKA the licensing system from Hell) at no additional cost.
