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. -- Steve
