Thanks for the information, Dov. I guess I need to be more
meticulous about reading the EULA (which we all read in
detail before we break the seal on the software distribution,
right?)
I was pretty sure the restriction was still in the EULA as of
FrameMaker 6.0, but I guess that *was* "a number of years
ago" by now. Time sure is fun when you're having files. ;^)
My opinions only; I don't speak for Intel.

Steve & Fred,
That 90-day (or whatever) restriction on version-to-version
upgrades on the same computer went out a number of years ago.
However, when you are dealing with a platform-to-platform
"sidegrade," you are dealing with software on distinctly
separate computers! The restriction is comparable to that
of the version-to-version upgrade not allowing you to
install or give away the old version for use on another
computer.
