Re: Flare 7, Analyzer 4 and the All-new MadCap Contributor

Unfortunately this was a feature that did not make V7. As much as we would like to get everything in a single release, it's just not possible.

Licenses can be transferred very easily. You'll just need to email Customer Service and ask to clear a key out so it can be registered to another user. We were also finding that most reviewers wanted to have the ability to add content, so it seemed beneficial to include the functionality in a single...

Yes, SMEs and other users will now require a Contributor license. New features and functionality have been added to Contributor, making it much more than a simple review tool.
