Can RoboDemo be used with RoboHelp 7?

[mjp_321]

We only need a single demo created and do not want to go to the expense of purchasing Captivate. I have the old Robohelp 5 that came with RoboDemo but have upgraded to RoboHelp7. I would like to load just RoboDemo and use it with Robohelp 7. Has anyone done this?

Thanks in advance.

Hi there

While I wouldn't expect RoboHelp to just seamlessly work with the RoboDemo application to create the demo from inside RoboHelp, you *SHOULD* be able to use RoboDemo independently to create the demo and publish it. Then insert the result into RoboHelp and use it from there. That should work.

Thanks, it works great!

Do you know if RoboDemo was included in RoboHelp 5?

Hi there

To the best of my knowledge it was never bundled as you see with the Tech Comms Suite and Captivate. X5 probably included a trial version in the hopes you would find it, fall in love with it and upgrade. But it was always a separate product you had to specifically purchase.
