Re: [Framers] question re getting an old Frame version without a license key
Hi Carol, He could "rent" the current version for $30/month: https://www.adobe.com/products/framemaker/buying-guide.html As far as older versions, somewhere along the way, Adobe went to an activation model. So you have to be careful if you buy a "used" copy that may have a valid serial number but that you can't activate because someone else is using it.

Re: [Framers] question re getting an old Frame version without a license key
Adobe used to have a procedure for transferring product licenses to new owners. Search adobe.com. However, keep in mind that if an old license was used as the basis for a reduced-price upgrade to a newer release, it likely won't qualify for a legal transfer.

[Framers] question re getting an old Frame version without a license key
I have a friend who needs to upgrade his skills on Framemaker and doesn't have a current license or the means to pay for one. 1) Is there a way to download an older version of Framemaker that doesn't require a license key? 2) If he were to purchase an older version on eBay that purportedly comes with a license key, is there a way he could verify the validity of the license before he purchased the software? 3) I have several CDs for older versions of Frame. If I gave him one of these along with the license key that I used when I registered that version, would he be able to install the software and would it endanger my current V12 license? 4) Are there any other options that you know of to help in a situation like this?
