How do I download FrameMaker 6.0?

I have a license but the C: drive on my Windows 7 (Professional) PC was replaced. I still have the hard drive, but it's now Drive F: and I know I can't just copy the files from F:\Program Files\Adobe\FrameMaker6.0 to C:\Program Files.

    Previous OS, Windows 7 Professional, same as before, and FM6 ran just fine on it. I don't think Adobe has a download for FM6; a support person told me to go to the forums. Specifically, "In this case I suggest you to refer Adobe Forums on the FrameMaker as it is a old Product and you get more information on this from there." Google search turns up Adobe FrameMaker 6.0 Download  - FrameMaker.exe and

    'Adobe FrameMaker: All versions - Software Informer. The first links to the second, and on the second I basically find out that it's not available. That is, it offers only a download of FM12. Actually, my search turned up that Amazon listing you cited. There the picture of the package reminded me that I had that very package buried away somewhere. I just had not used it in 10 years. Anyway, bottom line is I was able to install that version and it works fine. So, thanks.

    If Adobe no longer provides download, you may need to go into the aftermarket and find someone selling legacy media. I see one on Amazon for US$50 for example. Most such "used' products are going to have spoiled or missing CD codes, but that shouldn't be a problem, if your license is a CD code.

    Will it run?
    What was your previous operating system?
    I would be a bit surprised if FM6 runs native in Win7.

    You might need to setup XP Mode.
