I got an older version of FM up and running on Windows 11 via installation assistance from Adobe. They will help you do a "silent" installation for those of us who have older versions w/ the perpetual license. The only caveat is that if it works now, it >>MIGHT<< not work later on based on a Windows update, but so far, knock on wood . . . Mine has stayed steady for over a year and change through multiple updates. I am praying I can make it for another 14 months and then life is good.

Adobe has shut down access to their older versions' licensing servers, so you may be able to install FM, but you won't be able to get it running on the new machine because the activation process will fail. ________________________________ From: Framers <framers-bounces+jeff.coatsworth=jonasclub....@lists.frameusers.com> on behalf of Ragnar Hanas <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, May 29, 2026 2:37 PM To: [email protected] <[email protected]> Cc: [email protected] <[email protected]>; [email protected] <[email protected]> Subject: Re: [Framers] Mif2Go domain This is the first time you received an email from this sender ([email protected]).
