>Syed, Syed, FYI -- FrameMaker 12 is the third release to come out in approximately an 18 month cycle. For those who are regular users of FrameMaker and who are considering the subscription, take into account that you get a new full point release at no extra charge, and with no SW maintenance fees. Overall, for many people it does come out more economical. Maxwell Hoffmann |? Product? Evangelist? |?

It does not make sense for me - even if I were continuing with FrameMaker. It only makes _some_ sense for new users of FrameMaker, or folks still on versions _prior_ to version 10, where the "upgrade" cost of $999 is the same as full price. For example, after two years, the cost (24 * $29.99 = $719.76) is _much_ higher than the cost of a single upgrade to FM 12 from FM 11. And, after three years, it would be more than the list price of a full license. Here, I used 2 years as a duration model. Although it would probably be longer and more expensive, since upgrades for FrameMaker don't seem to occur every year now. Else I would have gotten at least one - sigh - during my 2 years "license upgrade" contract that expired before FM 12 was released.
