So when's Captivate 9 coming out? :)

Or download the demo and try it out;

http://www.adobe.com/products/captivate.html

So if I have a captivate 8 monthly subscription, how do I upgrade to 9? I can't find any info on this.

If I have a subscription to 8 already will I be upgraded?

Captivate 9 is now out. Go get it.

After seeing this post I called Adobe directly.

They said that "They have no information on CP9 or it's release date and it is not expected to be released/promoted any time soon." <-- direct quote

So either they are lying to me, so I buy CP8 (which is entirely possible), or they were lying to "dhark" and his original post, or his information was inaccurate... and to my knowledge, Adobe isnt in the habit of calling people to tell them about new software releases and dates. At least they have never called me or anyone I know and I've been at this 20 years.

His post was on June 10th, 2015 and says they told him it would be out in a month. Well it's August now and Adobe knows nothing about CP9 or any release date.

If you google "Adobe Captivate 9" all you get is information for CP8. No information exists anywhere online that I could find for CP9. If you go to Adobe's site, which is where they promote everything they have or will have soon, nothing exists for CP9 nor does it even mention it.

So you decide

August 19th 2015 official release date for Captivate 9.0 {Upgrade to be offered for N-1 (From 8.0 to 9.0)} Storyboarding App built in, iOS screen capturing, iOS content creation, over 25000 assets (Themes, Templates, Actors, etc) Keep an eye open for this.

Also releasing Presenter 11

And for the 1st time...a brand new offering from Adobe...Captivate PRIME - A cloud based Learning Management Solution. Unlimited storage (Free!) over 120 reports and many more features. All for a cost less than a happy meal @ McDonalds per user per month.

Big Day! Aug 19th...

IF YOU ARE CONSIDERING PURCHASING CAPTIVATE TO BUILD COURSES.  DON’T!

I have found so many issues using captivate to build courses. For starters, if you purchase let’s say Captivate 8, did you know that adobe won’t continue to update Captivate 8 when Captivate 9 comes out, even if you purchase Captivate 8 less than 90 days ago. If you purchase any version of captivate as soon as the next version releases you will NEVER get another update on that version of captivate again. Which could be critical if a browser like Chrome changes the way it reads HTML5 coding, you are stuck with the old version that doesn’t show up properly in the new released browsers since captivate doesn’t update the old versions. Basically Adobe will never update any version they have made including their previous version if they released a newer version. THINK TWICE BEFORE BUYING CAPTIVATE! OR BE PREPARED TO SPEND HUNDREDS OF DOLLARS TO KEEP UPGRADING TO EACH NEW VERSION TO GET UPDATES!

If version 9 does come out, will an upgrade from 7 to 9 be possible?

It's late July!!!

I know there's an LMS coming out, so maybe that's holding things back, but could it be? No new Captivate this year?

Just received a marketing call today from Adobe in which the person mentioned that "Captivate 9 would be released in a month".

When I asked about new features he was reluctant to say more that it would be released in a month.

And so it goes...
