Anything I should know before upgrading to TCS5?

[Jeff Coatsworth]

There's nothing unique to TCS5 compared to other TCS upgrades - the biggest gotcha is Acrobat - it just doesn't play well with multiple versions. If you've already got the "newest" Acrobat installed, tell TCS5 to skip loading it (and make sure that FM doesn't pooch it with its "headless" version too). Conversely, you can uninstall Acrobat and reinstall it as part of TCS5. Your choice...

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?
