Re: Problem Installing FrameMaker 7.0 Trial Version

My apologies if it sounds like a theft.  The last time we installed the 
software, we could not evaluate due to other constraints. Hence, wanted to 
reinstall it. 

We are evaluating a  few other tools and then decide a right tool for our 
issues. Hence, did not think it is wise spend our company's money, unless 
we evaluate it.

You asked...

Sounds like you are trying to "steal" the software by
repeating a trial period over and over. My input is to spend
your money like you are supposed to and like we have, and
stop asking us how to hack the software to circumvent a
license.

It's not a registry issue...it's a legal issue.
