does robohelp X5 runs on windows 7 or 8? if not what version does and what is the cost to upgrade?

Hi there

RoboHelp version X5 would now be what, perhaps eight years old? In computer time, that's really really old. For one thing, the outputs would likely fail in modern browsers. That's usually one of the biggest factors in staying current with RoboHelp upgrades. Ensuring the browser compatibility.

If you are using Windows 7 Professional or Ultimate, you are able to install the Microsoft Virtual Machine for XP mode and actually run Windows XP on those platforms. And I'm thinking X5 would likely work if you did that. I'm unsure if it will even successfully run on Windows 7 or 8. All you can do is try it and see.

You will need to visit the Adobe web site for RoboHelp to obtain pricing. There is RoboHelp and there is the Technical Communication Suite which includes RoboHelp, but also includes Framemaker, Acrobat, Illustrator and Captivate.

Cheers... Rick

Thanks Rick and cheers!

I note this question was posted in the RoboHelp for Word forum. If you are using RoboHelp for Word rather than RoboHelp HTML, it no longer ships with RoboHelp 11.
