Re: Mathcad Download For Windows 7 32 Bit

I need your help to know if there is any way to open different Mathcad files in different windows to have the ability to work on more than one Mathcad file in 2 screens. I don't have the ability to drag files in another screen if multiple ones are opened.
As Werner says, below: just start the Mathcad application twice, and open in each instance the file(s) you want to edit. Do not open the same file in multiple instances of Mathcad, because you risk losing the edits you made in one instance, by saving the other; if you're allowed to save at all.
There is no option for this which you could turn on, but you can start Mathcad multiple times and open your files from within the various instances using the "File-Open" dialog. The second instance you start probably will ask you if you want to recover from the autosaved file (if you have turned on that feature). As you will say "no", you will lose the autosave feature, I guess.
Do you mean across multiple monitors? If so, I often use Excel and Mathcad in this way by dragging the side bar out fill both monitors (or, more usually, extend part way into the 2nd monitor so I can something else permanently up) and then adjust the windows to lie next to the "monitor gap").
Yes, it's true: when you have two monitors, and use the expanded screen option, you can't open files dragging them into Mathcad 15 from any file explorer. Must to open them with the Ctrl-O, or clicking in the open item from the Mathcad menu.
Just concerning the license, why when I am using a floating license and open the files in this way (expanded screen option) it consumes 2 floating licenses otherwise when I use a fixed license, I have no problem. Isn't a fixed license counted as one license also?
There is one limitation, though, I experienced. One day I tried to use Mathcad on my desktop machine by connecting to this machine via remote desktop from a notebook with no MC installed. Mathcad refuses to work as of license limitations. This was silly, as I have no server windows on my desktop, so by connecting via RDP it would not have been possible to use the program multiple times.
The license on my desktop was a fixed one. One day I have to try to do the very same when I switch the license on my desktop machine to use a floating flex license. But I guess the security mechanism is dumb enough and the result would be the very same.

No, I don't know TeamViewer. So far I was quite happy with Micro$ofts built in Remote Desktop. Readily available because its part of every Windows (at least the client) and quite reliable, so far I can tell.
