Thanks for the information, Dov. I guess I need to be more meticulous about reading the EULA (which we all read in detail before we break the seal on the software distribution, right?)
I was pretty sure the restriction was still in the EULA as of FrameMaker 6.0, but I guess that *was* "a number of years ago" by now. Time sure is fun when you're having files. ;^) My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.

However, when you are dealing with a platform-to-platform "sidegrade," you are dealing with software on distinctly separate computers! The restriction is comparable to that of the version-to-version upgrade not allowing you to install or give away the old version for use on another computer. - Dov > -----Original Message----- > From: framers-bounces+isaacs=adobe.com at lists.frameusers.com > [mailto:framers-bounces+isaacs=adobe.com at lists.frameusers.com] > On Behalf Of Ridder, Fred > Sent: Thursday, September 14, 2006 5:46 AM > To: Steve Rickaby; framers at frameusers.com > Cc: fmforosx at yahoogroups.com > Subject: RE: Options for cross-grading, Mac to PC > > It's really not any different from Adobe's standard upgrade policy. > If you buy an upgrade license for most (if not all) of their > products, it only entitles you to keep both versions > installed for a transition period (90 days, as I recall). > After that period you are supposed to uninstall the old > version.
