Not with a link that has a country code originating in Libya. I suggest that
folks ignore the spammer.

Subject: FYI: Deal for upgrading from FM7.x to FM10 ends June 15

 

Just got this from a friend at Adobe (I'm trying to get some clients to
upgrade).

Cheapest route to go is the "Promo" which ends June 15th, which lets you
upgrade FM7.x to FM10 at 30% of what would have been normal cost. Before
this promo you could only have updated to entire tech comm suite. (Much more
expensive.) This 30% off upgrade ends FOREVER AND EVER AND EVER on June
15th. It will never be repeated. This is your last chance.

Promo landing page: http://adobe.ly/ItpxLt

Summary of 10-part blog series on "why upgrade": http://adobe.ly/IDoaYj

Blog with summary of 4 Captivate videos: http://adobe.ly/L7qfvg


Also, any earlier versions are now orphans. (I found a still-sealed box of
FM5+SGML in the garage this weekend, so I had to ask! )

Hi Lea,

You've jumped to a wrong conclusion -- the link is legitimate and 
doesn't originate in Libya.  It's a shortened URL that points to 
http://www.adobe.com/products/framemaker/fm-upgrade.html


It looks like Adobe has its own link-shortening utility so that "adobe" 
appears as the domain; there are free generic services on the web that 
do the same thing -- tinyurl.com, https://bitly.com/, etc.


Best,

[Lea Rush]

Hi Stuart,

I found that page, but I'm still a bit suspicious because the unshortened link 
doesn't say anything about a screamin' sale going on for the next week. If I 
select "Buy", the version choices are FM8 and FM9 only. How does a person get 
this special upgrade price?

It may be legitimate, but the top-level domain ".ly" does indicate Libya. As 
long as Gaddafi was in power, some people (myself included) didn't use the 
bit.ly URL-shortening service for that reason.

It resolves to http://www.adobe.com/products/framemaker/fm-upgrade.html.
It's a legit offer, just not the best one out there.

adobe.ly appears to be an Adobe URL shortener a la bit.ly.

[Craig Ede]

So what is the final pricing on it then (in case somebody actually talks to 
Customer Service).

BTW:In my opinion 10 is quite good; excellent on a 64 bit OS. Some nice tools 
for getting rid of overrides, etc.

The interface is quite an adjustment, but bear with it. You get used to it by 
configuring things the way you need them (very flexible).

I can assure you that I'm not an intentional spammer (nor do I work for
Adobe).
My apologies for using a URL compressor that made it look that way.
Actually, my contact at Adobe did, and I didn't think anything of it.

I just wanted to let folks know that a) there was a deal, and b) It was
going away very soon.

Re: Deal for upgrading from FM7.x to FM10 ends June 15

[Shmuel Wolfson]

I noticed that too. It looks like they just the "Buy" section of the 
site the same and expect you to call the reseller to get the real price. 
It would have been nice if they would have disabled the "Buy" link for 
that particular page. But you can't expect Adobe to make anything 
*easy.* It's just better (than Word) after you get used to it :)

30% off $999 is not much of a deal when the lowball street price is $634.

RE: Deal for upgrading from FM7.x to FM10 ends June 15

[Fred Ridder]

Yes, but that "lowball street price" is from an "Amazon marketplace" vendor who 
don't look terribly substantial--their "storefront" only offers 16 products 
total, and only 55 customers have posted feedback for them (although it is all 
positive feedback)--and there is currently only 1 copy in stock (down from 4 
copies yesterday).

Google Shopping finds three other vendors under $640.

Re: Deal for upgrading from FM7.x to FM10 ends June 15

[Shmuel Wolfson]

Is the upgrade deal also for 30% off FM8 to FM10 and FM9 to FM10 or just 
from 7.x to FM10?

All,

As a matter of interest. I went to the page on the original post. Noting that 
the only options for upgrade were from 8 or 9, I saw that at the bottom of the 
page there was a link for more information. In this country, we have no 
reseller network that services upgrades. The last time I upgraded I had to buy 
from Singapore.

Therefore, I have sent an email requesting information from Adobe (the third 
link IIRC).

*I have had no response.* I cannot ring the 1800 number because they do not 
work in this country. I cannot use the special links because this is not US or 
Canada.

Looks like I will be missing out on this offer because Adobe can't get its act 
together.

Not surprised really.

Alan

PS I would be interested to see a link to the special offer on Amazon.

FYI -

Robert, I respect your opinion on FM7.x. I have observed that in isolated cases 
a single person or small advanced group of advanced users are sometimes capable 
of exercising enough discipline to continue satisfactory production with 
version FM7.x , which was last updated 7 years ago.

There *are*, however, definite limitations with FM7.x vs. FM10 that affect most 
people, e.g. no Unicode support, no rich graphics, more time-consuming steps in 
locating and removing format overrides, and a more challenging path to output 
to ePubs (via TCS.) For many of us, changing demands on our deliverables are 
not met by code that was written 7 to 10 years ago.

There is a long list of nearly 50 enhancements to FrameMaker that have taken 
place over the past 10 years, listed at the *bottom* of the call to action 
webpage below. I'll use the full URL, just scroll to the bottom:

http://www.adobe.com/products/framemaker/fm-upgrade.html

There are 2 short blogs that anyone in a mid-sized workgroup with FM7.x should 
consider reviewing.
(NOTE: edit line breaks in the full URLs below before copy/paste into browser 
address field.)

(a) Blog with links to 4 Captivate videos:

http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/2012/05/videos-5-compelling-reasons-to-upgrade-from-framemaker-7-x-to-framemaker-10.html

(b) Blog highlighting timesaving features for FM7.x users who are not 
interested in structure:

http://blogs.adobe.com/techcomm/2012/06/what-if-you-use-framemaker-7-x-and-dont-want-dita-upgrade-to-fm-10.html

I hope many in the group will share this information with their contacts who 
are not fully satisfied with FrameMaker 7.x, as this such FM users to upgrade 
FrameMaker to FrameMaker, rather than FrameMaker to the full Tech Comm Suite.

For those interested, time is running out as there are now only 8 days left to 
take advantage of the promotion. This topic becomes a dead issue a week from 
tomorrow.

I will step aside from this topic.

The offer is "Adobe FrameMaker 7.X customers can receive a savings of
30% on the FULL version of FrameMaker 10 software purchased through
Adobe Customer Service, or a participating reseller worldwide."

Adobe charges $999, 30% off that is $699. Amazon charges $634.

Personally I'd stick with 7 unless I had a specific reason to upgade.
Adobe introduced a lot of bugs with the UI makeover in FM9 and if
anything they got worse in FM10. The last new feature they added that
I have any use for was the multiple undo in 7.2.

Re: Deal for upgrading from FM7.x to FM10 ends June 15

[Mike Wickham]

Upgrades are $399 from FM9 and $599 from FM8. I think the only reason 
the FM7 upgrade being discussed is a big deal is because FM7 has been no 
longer available for upgrade pricing. Users had to pay full $999 to move 
to FM10.


Of course, then one has to think about whether an FM7 to FM10 upgrade 
really represents a savings this late in the game. If it costs $700 to 
upgrade, and FM11 comes out this summer, it'll cost (presumably) another 
$400 to upgrade to the latest version. ($1100 total.) The current price 
for FM is $999. So it would cost an EXTRA $100 to upgrade from FM7 to 
FM11 by that route. Of course, you would be able to install both FM10 
and FM11 on your computer that way. But it might be best to just wait 
and buy FM11.

Re: Deal for upgrading from FM7.x to FM10 ends June 15

[Maxwell Hoffmann]

Note,

The upgrade in the subject line is only for FrameMaker 7.0, FrameMaker 7.1 and 
FrameMaker 7.2 to FrameMaker 10. It is a special promotion because "FrameMaker 
to FrameMaker" upgrades are usually only available for the previous 2 releases 
(e.g. FM8 and FM9).

The link below shows the "normal" upgrade plans for FM7, FM8 and FM9. (Details 
on the promotion that expires on June 15th is not listed.) 

http://www.adobe.com/products/framemaker/upgrade.html

You will notice that previous to this special program in which FM7.x can 
upgrade to "one product" FM10, the only option was to upgrade from FM 7.x to 
the full Tech Comm Suite 3.5 (at less than normal full cost.)
