Hi all,
I know Adobe keeps all of their numbers a Big Secret, but I am creating a
comparison spreadsheet in my research on FM vs AT and I need to have a general
idea of how many FM seats have been installed. FM has been in use since the
late 1980s and I would estimate at least 100K seats. If
Hi Diane,
Adobe should know how many licenses they have _sold_. How many are
_using_ FM is a different matter. I guess they are somewhat fewer. I
base that assumption on the fact that you can get used FM second hand
(including all paperwork). This leads me to assume that a (small?)

At the 1999 FrameUsers Conference in Minneapolis, somebody posed this
question to Adobe co-founder and then-CEO John Warnock in a public Q/A
session. He responded that FrameMaker had about a half-million
installed seats worldwide.
This information is a bit old, but it is the only public
FrameMaker licenses on UNIX can be shared or personal.
Users can check out a shared license when they need it, then
check it back in when they're done. Depending on demand, the
number of users of a single shared license can vary, so it's
difficult to be precise.
Personal licenses are
My guess is that there are some exceptions to this.

reading online help and figuring out software even
more complex (gasp!) than FrameMaker. This is not an

Greetings,
I am trying to help a colleague migrate her old WWP6 Pro projects to WWP
2003 Pro, so she can use FM 7 and structured files.

there any way to get the project upgraded to WWP 2003, other than copypaste
Does anyone know a reliable source for metrics on productivity gains
from structured authoring with FrameMaker?
I need some numbers to use to convince my boss that it is the way to go.
I am thinking of something along the lines of output pages per writer.
I appreciate any help.

Hi Bodvar,
Given that many FrameMaker users are in the software industry (at least here in
Northern California), the number of unused licenses may be higher than you
think. For example, as the manager of the Pubs department at Company A, I
bought nine licenses for my group. The company was

Using an ROI estimate to justify changing over to a

Hello Framers,
Our initial plan was to convert our legal publications from Interleaf
to Frame. We met with a company that suggested that we go the PDF to XML
route instead, using Arbortext Editor from PTC. We're curious to see
what you Framers think of this idea. Also, does anyone have
