There's nothing in the FM10 or earlier licensing agreements I've read that would allow Adobe to revoke your right to use the software so long as you observe the restrictions of the agreement. The clause you're quoting means that If the currently installed and licensed version is an update or upgrade, Adobe has no obligation to provide the support for the earlier versions. For example, if you upgrade to FM11 while you still have an active support contract for FM10, the support contract is shifted to FM11, and they no longer have any obligation to provide any support for FM10. "5. Updates. If the Software is an upgrade or update to a previous version of Adobe software, you must possess a valid license to such previous version in order to use such upgrade or update. After you install such update or upgrade, you may continue to use any such previous version in accordance with its end-user license agreement only if (a) the upgrade or update and all previous versions are installed on the same Computer, (b) the previous versions or copies thereof are not transferred to another party or device unless all copies of the update or upgrade are also transferred to such party or device, and (c) you acknowledge that any obligation Adobe may have to support the previous version(s) may end upon the availability of the upgrade or update. No other use of the previous version(s) is permitted after installation of an update or upgrade." _______________________________________________ You are currently subscribed to framers as [email protected].
