How to Read This Manual

This Administrator’s Guide is written primarily for the system administrator — the 

person responsible for installing and maintaining Mathcad and any FLEXnet server 

administering Mathcad licenses. It assumes you have a basic familiarity with Windows 

and network administration.

For Mathcad installation, this Administrator’s Guide targets the Windows XP platform. 

Dialog titles, menu options, and other elements mentioned in this Guide reflect 

Windows XP navigation and object names.
