FrameMaker 10 does not start ("licensing expired")

Wed Jan 2 23:23:35 PST 2013

You can apply this patch ,it is a superset . It is available at  http://helpx.adobe.com/framemaker/kb/cant-launch-framemaker-10.html  .

1. Go to Add and Remove Programs.

2. Look for " Name" and "Version" fields for FrameMaker 10 entry.

3. If the name says "Adobe FrameMaker 10" and Version says "10.0.0.388" or "10.0.1.402" or "10.0.2.419"pls. download TCS3Update.zip file,  unzip it and run the executable.

4. Otherwise, if the name says "Adobe FrameMaker 10.0.1" and version says "10.0.1.408" or 10.0.2.419" download TCS3_5Update.zip, unzip it and run the executable.

Kapil and all,

I ran the first utility provided earlier. My version of FM is 10.0.2, and I
see on your second solution that the utilities are for 10.0 and 10.0.1.
Should I run this second utility or not (specifically the version for
10.0.1)?

Dear Anjaneai,

Is there a solution yet?
As Shlomo, I tried your suggested solution 1 and 2 without success. Again,
just like Shlomo, I don't want to try solution 3.
Just as a note: simply setting the date back to 2012 makes the license issue
disappear. But this is something I can do as I have admin rights on my PC.
What can I do for all my colleagues that are getting back from holidays
today, need Framemaker 10 and don't have admin rights??

Happy New Year to all Framers!

Kind regards,
Tom
