How to install Captivate 2017 as part of Technical Communication Suite 2017

[jay fresno]

TCS 2017 comes with Captivate 9, but now that Captivate 2017 has been released, how can I install Captivate 2017 as part of the suite?

[Arnis_Gubins]

It should be available using the Adobe Update Manager from the Help menu in Captivate. (Help > Updates...)

I tried that, but Captivate 9 did not update to Captivate 2017. I have TCS 2017 perpetual license, not subscription. Should I still be able to update to Captivate 2017?

I'm not sure about the perpetual license version. There may be restrictions in the EULA that lock you to the version(s) available at the time of the release. You'll have to check with Customer Support.

Hi Jay, if this release follows previous  behavior, you can expect a TCS 2017.X release that provides you access to Cp 2017.

At this time, you can only download the trial (30 days) or purchase independently.

Yes, I found that out from customer support. I am wary about purchasing the perpetual license version of TCS 2017 until such time as Captivate 2017 is included -- unless I can be assured that I will be able to upgrade to Captivate 2017 when it get included in the suite in a couple of months.
