FrameMaker 9 upgrade offer -- Adobe sales lacks information. Any ideas?

When I started up my Frame 9 copy, the splash screen displays a "Limited Period Offer" of 40% off to buy FM 12. Except the Adobe 12 web page, the direct sales rep I called, and the customer support rep I was transferred to have no information about this.

Does anyone have any more information about upgrading FM 9, and how I might actually "save 40%" when upgrading?

A screen shot of part of the FM splash screen with the upgrade offer is here:

Besides being expired, I seem to recall that the offer was only for a

discount on the subscription version of the program and not on the

perpetual license version. The subscription version is bad because, if

you stop paying the subscription fee, the software stops working.

Upgrade pricing is only available from FM10 or FM11.

I must say that I do not like Adobe's upgrade policies. A person who has

already purchased FrameMaker 9 has already paid for 99% of the features

in FM12. Why they should be forced to buy the new version of the program

at full price just to get a few new features is ridiculously unfair.

I believe that the promotion has long since expired.
