Frame Server experiences?

Many people don't realize that there is no functional difference between 
FrameMaker and FrameMaker Server -- the only difference is a piece of 
paper in the box (the end-user license agreement). Essentially, if you 
are using FrameMaker as an automated rendering engine, FrameMaker Server 
is required.

Your plan is sound, but feel free to prototype/test with FrameMaker and 
the FDK or FrameScript for the automated components.
