Hi all

Looks like Adobe has announced Captivate 3 will possibly begin shipping as early as next month!

I see Adobe is now accepting preorders. Click here to see that.

Cheers all... Rick

    Something is hosed on the Adobe website. Any clicks on the FAQ, Upgrade Center, etc... leave my browser (both IE and Firefox) just sitting there.

    I wish Adobe would just post a simple "What's New/Updated" link someplace. It would make it easier for me to justify the upgrade if I didn't have to hunt down the differences myself.

    Thanks. Thinking about it i want to keep using Captivate 2 at the moment as the client i'm working for has that version.

    Want to also use Captivate 3 to get the latest features to see what its like though, catch 22 !

    Hi all

    For what it's worth, it seems that version 3 will install alongside version 2. I'm not sure how it would work if you had an upgrade version as opposed to a full version. We see that issue with RoboHelp.

    Not sure about adobe in particular, but many companies offer a grace period
    if you bought a release prior to a new version being released.

    I only bought Captivate 2 two weeks ago so how does the upgrade work ? Can i keep Captivate 2 on my machine and if i buy an upgrade also Captivate 3 ?

    Also i saw the demo from Webassist...

    The way the bullet points fly onto screen, does anyone know if thats a Captivate 3 feature or simply something in Flash which is imported into Captivate 3 ?

    all i can say is the squeaky wheel most often gets the grease.

    call them and voice your concern. they just might qualify you for the new version.

    at that point, you would sign an agreement to destroy your captivate 2 copy.

    but ya gotta call to get that type of service (though don't quote me and obviously i'm in no position to provide guarantees). i doubt they'll come find you.
