TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
If you are talking about the SPAM ads you see offering "OEM Software" at
a HUGELY discounted price, I do believe that these are actual pirated
copies or otherwise of questionable origin. You need to be careful with
these. I was working with someone that took this avenue only to discover
they picked up a nasty virus along the way.

> Have you ever used OEM software, and is it fully functional? After spending nearly $2000 for a new Adobe Technical Communication Suite for a specific project, I discovered that the Captivate 5 fonts are not acceptable. I have to re-do a bunch of videos in Captivate 4, and I am hesitant to spend an additional $700 for an obsolete application that I will probably only use on the current project. Does anyone have any experience with OEM software in general, and Adobe Captivate 4 in particular? Ideas, suggestions, insights?
