1. I don't see an individual TCS updater package listed - IIRC if you update
any component in the suite, it prompts the update all the other components. You
can install just FM out of the suite if you like (you just have to turn off the
installation of the other components). Your separate Acrobat Pro license was a
bit of a waste since it's included in the suite already. Just make sure that
you don't get the "headless" Distiller that comes with FM messing with your
"full" version - the TCS installer has been known to get that messed up
sometimes.
2. Don't think one exists.
3. IIRC it was only with FM2017 that they went to cumulative updates that
allowed you to skip to the highest one. I'd play it safe and install each in
turn.

Subject: [Framers] FrameMaker/TCS 2015 Update 5 - which package? cumulative?
Hello, Framers,
First, my apologies. I did try to search both the Adobe site and the
[framers] archives, but although plenty of similar questions, seemingly
no definitive, likely-still-valid answers. So... I'm wanting to check
on some FrameMaker files that I haven't used since I got a new Windows
10 machine (actually, a Parallels VM on my Mac, but I think that fact
irrelevant). So now I'm trying to figure out which updates I need.
And why do I need updates? The dreaded tiny fonts, unmanageable
windows/docking, and the like. I already tried setting the program's
shortcut properties to Override high DPI scaling behavior. Scaling
performed by System, which helped enormously, but not sufficiently.
I believe that I initially installed Tech Comm Suite Update 1, based on
what's showing in FrameMaker's Help > About FrameMaker: version
13.0.1.385. (I simply copied my install files from my old PC to my new
PC, so I'm not positive which version. But I am pretty sure that the
"1" in 13.0.1.385 means Update 1, based on the convention apparent in
the chart at
[1]https://supportdownloads.adobe.com/product.jsp?product=22&platform=W
indows, where the third dot number seems to correspond to the updates.
So here're the questions:
1. Is there a separate Tech Comm Suite Update package or is the correct
update just the individual FrameMaker Update
([2]https://supportdownloads.adobe.com/product.jsp?product=22&platform=
Windows)? I actually don't care at the moment about any of the TCS
components other than FrameMaker.
I'm using a totally separately licensed Acrobat DC Pro, and I've never
used RoboHelp, Captivate, etc. (I thought I would when I purchased TCS
originally, but just never did.) I don't know if I'll want to use other
TCS components sometime in the future, but it's not seeming all that
likely (given my shift to static site generators and working for
startups that don't want to tie themselves to an expensive authoring
toolset).
2. If I need a Tech Comm Suite 2015 Update, where can I find that?
(Yes, I could use the updater, but I far prefer to have the actual
downloaded file where I know it is, and to do the install via
RevoUninstallerPro.)
3. If I need the individual FrameMaker update instead, do I need to
install updates 2, 3.1, 4, and 5, in turn, or can I just skip to Update
5?
4. Any other advice?
Thanks,
-Monique
