Dr. Reng, Thank you for bringing our product launch to the group's attention. Both the product manager, Kapil Verma, and I have submitted product announcements and webinar details to the list, but it appears that they aren't visible yet. (I am awaiting my confirmation email.)
For those who would like information on the 40% off promotion for FrameMaker 9 users, you may get full details at this website: http://www.adobe.com/products/technicalcommunicationsuite/promotions.html Please note that you can only take advantage of the 40% promotion from the webpage listed above. Another alternative that may alleviate any frustrations with upgrade costs is to migrate to a FrameMaker 12 subscription. Although you commit to one year with this subscription, the monthly rate is only $29. Any updates (including major releases) automatically become available to you during your active subscription. In the long run, this is possibly the most economical choice. By the way, you may recall that with the last release (FrameMaker 11), only Tech Comm Suite 4 was available for subscription; not the point products. I don't know if there has been discussion about FrameMaker XML Author 12 yet. This is a new product: a fully functional, end-to-end XML authoring solution that is fully compliant with DITA OT. It costs 40% of the price for a full perpetual FrameMaker 12 license and is only $19.99 per month for a year's subscription. Find out more at: http://www.adobe.com/products/framemakerxmlauthor.html For those of you not yet familiar with the new product features, here are 3 new AdobeTV channels that give quick, mini video demos, and will quickly let you know about just a few of the areas with major improvements: FrameMaker 12 Features: http://tv.adobe.com/show/framemaker-12-features FrameMaker XML Author 12 Features: http://tv.adobe.com/show/framemaker-xml-author-12 FrameMaker Publishing Server 12 Features: http://tv.adobe.com/show/framemaker-publishing-server-12 Enjoy! ________________________________ Maxwell Hoffmann | Product Evangelist | Adobe | p. 503.336.5952 | c. 503.805.3719 | mhoff...@adobe.com<mailto:mhoff...@adobe.com> http://twitter.com/maxwellhoffmann - http://www.linkedin.com/in/maxwellhoffmann blogs.adobe.com/techcomm Upcoming webinars http://adobe.ly/Pbz6xI Recorded webinars: http://adobe.ly/Pbdp0J -----Original Message----- From: framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com<mailto:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com> [mailto:framers-boun...@lists.frameusers.com] On Behalf Of Syed Zaeem Hosain (syed.hos...@aeris.net<mailto:syed.hos...@aeris.net>) Sent: Thursday, January 16, 2014 12:00 AM To: Reng, Dr. Winfried; framers@lists.frameusers.com<mailto:framers@lists.frameusers.com> Subject: RE: FrameMaker 12 released Thanks for the links. Some links on the FAQ page for FM 12 are broken ... notably one that takes you to the subscription pricing (including a "promotional" pricing discount). Also, sorry to beat on this drum still, but the upgrade price of $399 from FrameMaker 11 is still too high to be justifiable (for *my* needs ... YMMV). Particularly after having spent many dollars on upgrading from version 9 to 10 to 11 for no real benefit for my needs - these should all have been treated as bug fixes. *And* my final two years of paying for license "upgrades" saw NO benefit at all, since there were no upgrades during that period (I paid for the FM 11 upgrade separately!) ... I kinda feel like I should receive FrameMaker 12 without any more "upgrade" payments, but I suspect this will not happen. BTW, the upgrade price from FM 10 is $599. And from earlier versions: $999 ... which is same as full cost, so not really an upgrade!
