[Framers] License update

[rick at rickquatro.com]

CDW is a reputable company. One thing to check: 2019 was available as a
32-bit or 64-bit program. I am not sure of both shipped in the same box, but
you should get the 64-bit version if you want to take advantage of more
memory, etc. Be aware though, that any existing 32-bit plugins that you
might have will not work with the 64-bit version of FrameMaker. ExtendScript
script should still work (all mine do).

Subject: [Framers] License update

Dear Framers,

I am using FrameMaker 2015 and am planning to update too FrameMaker 2019 at
the same time as moving to a new laptop. I would appreciate help with two
questions:

1. I am not interested in a subscription, only in buying a license. I found
no possibility on Adobe's site but one on CDW
(https://www.cdw.com/product/adobe-framemaker-2019-release-license-1-user/52
44308). Can anyone confirm that this source is suitable? The licensing is
not clear from their site (I wrote to them for clarification), so if anyone
has experience with them I will be grateful. The source I used back in 2015
thanks to a tip from this list, Insight
(https://www.insight.com/en_US/shop/product/65292764AD01A00/Adobe/65292764AD
01A00/AdobeFrameMaker(2019Release/)), currently says that the site is under
maintenance.

2. I am not following this email list on a daily basis (I do use FrameMaker
on a daily basis -- it has been my main writing tool since ca. 1998 --  but
it does what I want and I know its quirks), so I apologize if everyone else
knows the answer to my next question: is it a good idea to purchase the 2019
version now, or is there another expected update coming out soon?

Thanks in advance and best regards,
