Most programs have a limit to how old your previous version can be and
still upgrade. One Adobe saleperson told me they usually let you upgrade
for about 4 new versions, but it's better to be safe than sorry. I
upgraded from 7.2 to 9, just in case they wouldn't allow me to upgrade
past 9.

I've just discovered that with FrameMaker 10 Adobe are doing the same as with
the Creative suite apps: historical upgrade paths are closed off, so one cannot
upgrade directly from FrameMaker 7 to FrameMaker 10.
Does anyone (Dov?) happen to know what the situation is with crossgrades? I've
been using FrameMaker 7 on Mac with complete satisfaction for several years and
many books; my forward path is either an Intel Mac with FrameMaker 9 or 10
under VMWare, or upgrade my Windows box, which is geriatric. In view of the
less than warm welcome of FrameMaker 10 (and, for that matter, 9), maybe I
should look for a full copy of Windows FrameMaker 8 on eBay or elsewhere?
I have never been sure how the Adobe crossgrade procedure works, and
specifically, the check process for a valid existing copy.
Any information welcomed.
