Because of how my employer purchases software, we can't buy from someone who isn't Adobe when we buy Adobe software. It's a very frustrating purchasing process.
We were hoping if we purchase 8, then it would sort of cover us on the extra use of the 7.2 seats in a retroactive way. We would have, in fact, enough seats of Frame, we just wouldn't use the 8 copies until we can bring the entire group forward at the same time. I can't figure out from the EULA if this is legal or not. sharon Sharon Burton CEO, Anthrobytes Consulting 951-369-8590 www.anthrobytes.com -----Original Message----- From: Art Campbell [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Sunday, August 05, 2007 2:43 PM To: sharon at anthrobytes.com Cc: framers at lists.frameusers.com Subject: Re: Frame Versions Question Without reading the 8 EULA, which I don't have access to, yes, probably it's not legal. Why not just follow the KISS principle and get three 7.2 packages off the shelf of a retailer who has left-overs and then see if Adobe will follow it's usual procedure of giving an upgrade to the current release if the product was purchased in the release time frame? Adds up to the same amount of money, but you get everyone on 7.2 and then upgrade together.
