[Framers] Adobe licensing is migrating to subscription based

[Craig Ede]

This brings up and interesting question. When the subscription pushes out a new version, can you leave an earlier FrameMaker version on a machine and use that for files that you want to stay in that version?

The medical device industry can be quite hidebound about using newer versions of software since they validate their quality systems against a particular version and don't want to do all that work again. For a consultant, working with different clients who may have different version requirements, the ability to run multiple versions is imperative.

In 2015 I used Creative Cloud and the Adobe subscription let us install the new versions but keep the older versions of particular software active, too.

As to an earlier email of yours, there is no difference between someone
upgrading from an earlier version to 2020 or someone getting a new
subscription to 2020. The subscription price is the same for everyone.
There are two annual options (no monthly option for FM!): one is to prepay
for a year (about $360), the other is to pay monthly ($29.99) for a year's
subscription (which totals about $360) with cancellation fees if you cancel
it early.
