FM 2019 subscription – what do we need to know?

[FieryPantone]

I’ve finally got management approval to migrate from FM12 to an FM2019 subscription! so I’m filling in forms for our in-house Support Centre, and I need to be sure they know:

• basics like RAM / disk space requirements for the corporate (Windows 7 Pro) laptop
• special requirements such as ‘needs Internet access to validation server’

I didn't immediately spot this sort of information on the Adobe site, so I've sent them an enquiry – but though I'd ask around among real users as well.

For myself, I'd appreciate your advice on any gotchas that might trip me up if and when I can take this leap forward :-}

Thanks in advance!

Hi FieryPantone:

Here are the system requirements for 2019: FrameMaker System Requirements.

My tips would be to keep the current version installed in case you have any immediate issues, and be sure to install all of the patches. We are up to 15.0.3.603.

The way-faster PDF generation is still making me happy.
