What is the situation with regards to buying used versions of FrameMaker?

[Syed Zaeem Hosain (Syed.Hosain@aeris.net)]

Hi, Hedley.

Once a version 7.2 license has been used for an upgrade, it is no longer available for sale (or transfer of license) any more – Robert Lauriston is right about that.

But, as it happens, I have some 7.2 licenses (and the original Adobe disks) which were not upgraded, so can make those available if you want to buy one (or more?).

I had posted here about these some time back, but our IT guys were slow in figuring out what to do at Adobe to get them transferred, so I could not follow up with the person who was interested in purchasing them.

In any case, I can probably find these disks fairly quickly. If you can find out from Adobe what you might need from me to make the license transfer happen – since these were never used for upgrades – and are interested in getting one or two, please let me know.

I was thinking that there may be someone who bought a version, say 9, then did not upgrade for a a few years and the ability to upgrade had expired.  If that person then bought a later version -- by necessity, not being able to upgrade -- it seems to me that they could transfer the licence for the older version, say 9, without any difficulties.

By the way, does anybody have a support email address?  I tried to find one but kept being sent round in circles, continually being directed back to community support, which ain't what's wanted.  I just want to try out the above scenario on someone official at Adobe who can give a definitive answer.

I am now living on a pension so cannot afford either the educational or full price of a new release.

Regards,
Hedley

FrameMaker 7.2 was the last version I used, but the licence belonged to my employer. Now I want to start using it again but don't want to pay for 12.0.

But there may be people out there who have successively upgraded to 12.0 who still have a 10.0, 9.0, or 8.0 installer CD in a drawer which is no longer upgradeable to 12.0. Are they legitimately able to transfer their 9.0 licence (say) and CD to another person?

I googled for used copies of FrameMaker but the hits all looked very dodgy, and were possibly vehicles for installing viruses.
