Maybe my suggestion already fails at step 1, but would the be following be an option? #1 Ask IT for a spare computer with a local admin account. That computer doesn't need network or internet access at any time. #2 Install FM11 from the original install media and start a 30-day trial. No internet connection is required for that. (I've been able to the same on a virtual machine without internet access, using my original Adobe Technical Communication Suite 4 DVDs.) FM appears to be fully functional during the trial period. #3 Save all your .book and .fm files in MIF 7.0 format and any other formats that might be useful. #4 >From here, you can take any route with the exported documents. If you want to >continue using FM for future edits, FrameMaker version 8 might be a good >option because it could be activated by phone.
