problem install framemaker 8 trial version

[Scott Prentice]

You definitely don't need to uninstall FM7 to install the FM8 trial.

In the dialog that asks for the serial number *should* be an option to 
choose the "30 Day Trial" which doesn't need a serial number. It's right 
below the serial number fields .. run it again and see if you missed it.
