FrameMaker 10 does not start ("licensing expired")

I'm seeing this problem as well. Unfortunately, I don't think this will be something that can be resolved by Adobe fixing something in their licensing services. Before starting FM10 this morning, I disconnected from the Internet to test whether this is a local issue or from phoning home. Since

FrameMaker 10 does not start ("licensing expired")

Building blocks for generated list reference pages...

Hi... I'm not finding any useful documentation on this, so I'll try to tap the wealth of knowledge on this list. :) In setting up the reference page for a generated list (for structured documents), is it possible to grab attribute values to include in the list? There are building blocks like

FM 11 crashing consistently on Save Ditamap As > PDF

It sounds like there's something in your topics (or map) that FM doesn't like. I'd start by pruning the set of files down to locate the problem. Have these files been authored in FM or another XML editor? It's possible that you're using DITA elements or features in a way that FM doesn't support

Frame 9: Paragraph tag that's automatically conditional?

According to Max Hoffman .. this was a feature that was discussed in the early days of FM, but was shot down by the developers. I think it would be a great feature. If you're working with structured FM, I believe that the AXCM plugin from West Street Consulting will do what you want .. ht

DITA/docbook vs your own schema

All good info. More reasons to use DITA or DocBook is the availability of off-the-shelf authoring, publishing, and file management (CMS) tools. Also, personnel support (authoring and development) .. it is much easier to find people to work on one of the "standards" than your custom model. Chee
