Anything I should know before upgrading to TCS5?

[Carol J. Elkins]

Last year I opted to subscribe to the Adobe Creative Cloud for 
$29.99/month promotional. That has now jumped to $49.99/month, but it 
provides access to every Adobe product I could want, including 
Photoshop and Illustrator. But those products were part of TCS4, so 
some people who already have them may simply choose not to upgrade 
them. I will not, however, relinquish my perpetual license to 
Framemaker until Adobe forces me to. I think my sole reason for 
wanting to upgrade this time is because I want to make sure that when 
Adobe decides to force the Framemaker subscription, I have the most 
current licensed version loaded because it will probably be the last 
upgrade I make. So I guess as long as Adobe dangles the threat of 
forcing a Framemaker subscription, I'll continue to shell out the 
bucks to maintain my perpetual license. That is a good marketing strategy, eh?

So far only one response to my question about upgrade gotchas. So am 
I to assume that everyone who has upgraded to TCS5 and FM12 had an 
uneventful upgrade experience?
