Flare 8 update

Post by kgregc1 »

Just saw the news release for Flare 8 and other program upgrades. The news release says Flare 8 is available today (3/1) but the individual program updates don't show it yet. I hope to upgrade soon.

I just email madcap support for a download link. I cant update via Flare (firewall restrictions) so need a direct link to give my IT department.

New features look pretty good, interested to see the new HTML 5 output.

I don't think it'll appear in the application's updates; brand new versions usually require a new licence key, which comes in an email with the download link.

I was kind of hoping MadCap would improve the download and registration process; it usually takes me about 2 full days to register it, by the time you factor in getting licence keys, having to get phone reg codes, and UK/US time differences.

Looking forward to using it, the new-look WebHelp and search results look great.
