Re: Registering a new FrameMaker license
Ask the seller (if not already stated in the description) whether this is an unused, sealed copy. By the rules of eBay, wrong information will deem the seller to refund. Do not ask for a serial number because the seller will probably know that such information can (sometimes?) be used illegally on pirate copies. If it is a used copy, get his/her assertion that Adobe has been advised of the selling and the former user has been de-registered off the copy. Adobe cannot IMHO prevent anyone from selling his/her copy, provided that the registration things are in order. This info is based solely on my own experience with shopping on eBay or otherwise on the Internet.

Re: Registering a new FrameMaker license
Hi, My last company was on an austerity campaign when I started and I did my provisioning off eBay with very mixed results. The FM transactions were trouble-free -- the sealed boxes just as advertised. I can't say the same for other Adobe products -- and neither eBay nor PayPal was a particle of use in resolving conflicts or getting me a refund for bootleg software. I followed their procedures to the letter and was still left holding the bag full of bad software. YMMV ...Susan - Original Message From: Bodvar Bjorgvinsson [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Daniel Emory [EMAIL PROTECTED] Cc: Framers List [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2008 3:38:07 AM Subject: Re: Registering a new FrameMaker license Ask the seller (if not already stated in the description) whether this is an unused, sealed copy.

RE: Registering a new FrameMaker license
Dan (and anyone else looking to purchase Frame licenses) I have a stack of retail Frame Frame+SGML still in the shrinkwrap and never registered. I'd be happy to sell them. I also have a stack of licenses predating Adobe's current EDU pricing model. These are also available and will come with the official Adobe paperwork allowing for transfer of license. Sale of the license numbers is, of course, assuming I've not overstepped bounds regarding sale of my Adobe-branded property! If so, I'm sure we'll all hear about it shortly. Either way, after upgrade costs, you'll still save a bundle. -Matt Sullivan GRAFIX Training, Inc.

RE: Registering a new FrameMaker license
Not quite right. A user cannot sell educational, student, or NFR (demo for industry) versions. The licenses for such software is NOT transferable. - Dov -Original Message- From: Bodvar Bjorgvinsson Sent: Wednesday, February 27, 2008 3:38 AM To: Daniel Emory Cc: Framers List Subject: Re: Registering a new FrameMaker license Ask the seller (if not already stated in the description) whether this is an unused, sealed copy.

RE: Registering a new FrameMaker license
Without commenting on this issue, I can confirm that there is a special upgrade policy for FrameMaker 8 (and Adobe Technical Communication Suite) that allows for upgrade from any version of FrameMaker.
