This is one of the many reasons that I use a Mac. I've got VMs (Fusion)
of various versions of Windows so I can run older software on the OS it
was intended to run on. I can upgrade my hardware and continue to keep
XP, Win7, etc., around for the software that runs best on each platform.
No painful migrations, no unexpected incompatibilities.
The problem comes when you expect old software to run on a new OS ..
it's just doomed from the start. Yes. This setup costs a bit more, but
in the long run it saves far more money (in time) than I spend in dollars.
Cheers,

FrameMaker 7.2 was released in 2005. There's no reason to upgrade
something that works, and no reason to spend time and money on
upgrades to deal with Microsoft compatibility bugs you can solve for
free.
Switching from 7.2 to 13 (2015) could be a lot of work due to the
switch to Unicode in version 8. Plus there's the learning curve
introduced by the weird UI layered on in version 9. If you use
keyboard shortcuts instead of the mouse, the switch could be
particularly painful.

Seriously guys, running software released in 2000, 16 years ago on systems
with features and software functions that weren't even imagined?
This is an exercise for the computer museum, not a production environment.
