I see both sides of the coin in this argument. This is a good post to include here Paul. As free included software, Captivate would cease to be that innovative product it is today. I’m fairly certain that Adobe would no longer offer new features like interactive video or 360° VR training. If Captivate became a bonus piece of software in the Creative Cloud, I would imagine that it would stop being the innovative software it is today. I would imagine that many illustrators, designers, and graphic artists might start looking for alternatives to Creative Cloud.Īnd for those who think Adobe should absorb Captivate’s cost and include it in the Creative Cloud for free, I say no thanks. If Adobe asked you to suddenly pay $30 more for something you didn’t need or want, you would likely not accept that. Imagine if you were not in the eLearning industry but were a Creative Cloud user. I would gladly accept a bundled price of less than $80, but I don’t think everyone would agree. Captivate, and the Creative Cloud represents over $US 80 per month. Of course, some of you are hoping for a reduced price. I could go away and have lunch while everything I need to be creative that afternoon would magically appear on my new PC. Imagine purchasing a new PC or Mac and simple logging into your Adobe Account and selecting the option to install all your Adobe software. For me, the greatest benefit of such a merger would be the ability to install all my Adobe apps from one Creative Cloud application. As a Captivate and Creative Cloud user, I completely understand this. Of course, many people are always hoping that Captivate will become part of the Creative Cloud. The Adobe Technical Communications Suite includes the following pieces of software: Since that time, the only other product where Adobe Captivate is bundled with other software from Adobe is in the Adobe Technical Communications Suite. The last time Adobe offered this suite of products was with Adobe Captivate 6. The eLearning Suite included the following applications: In fact, this is how I purchased my first personal copy of Adobe Captivate. There was a time when Adobe offered a product called the Adobe eLearning Suite. Everything I say in this blog post is just my thoughts and opinion. When it comes right down to it, I’m just a user like all of you. The problem is if I take a project into work, the older version 2020.0.156 on that PC complains about version incompaitibility on opening the project and in fact fails to generate.Adobe has invited me to participate in things like conferences and training, but I think it’s important to say that I do not know Adobe’s plans for the marketing or selling of Adobe Captivate. I've done this twice in the past week and I am now running 2020.3.32 on the home PC. When I try Help>Check for Updates on that PC, I get the Adobe RoboHelp Update application instead of Creative Cloud and I can check for and update the software. On my home PC, I have the same software installed and right now it's still running under a trial license (so I'm not logged in). When I'm logged into the account with the subscription and try Help>Check for Updates, I'm taken to Create Cloud and I can't see RoboHelp listed and I can't find any link to check for and download the latest update. On my work PC, I have a copy of RoboHelp 2020 installed from a recent download of Technical Communications Suite and is licensed using an active subscription.
