Question

Arbortext PE 6.0

Adepters:

I got an e-mail this morning from PTC announcing Arbortext Editor and Publishing Engine 6.0. The link to the editor works fine and I was able to download. However, the PE link only shows me PE 5.3 and 5.4. Anyone else tried this (assuming you have a technical support subscription)?

    Yeah, I'm not seeing it either. I can get to the resource documents,
    and all of the 6.0 documentation, just no install media.

    Try going to ptc.com/support and clicking on the "Order or Download
    Software Updates" link, which is the first link in the right column of
    the "Popular Tools" section in the middle of the page. Selecting
    "Order or Download Software Updates" again from the resulting page
    should give you a list of product families, including "Arbortext
    Publishing Engine".

    As I reported earlier this morning from @adepters on Twitter, I can see 6.0
    for PE and Styler but not Editor. Still true now. Dunno if it is a technical
    thing on the support site or a licensing issue for me (and others?). Our
    maintenance is all on one invoice though so it would surprise me if there
    were problems only with Editor.

    Not sure why you're not seeing Editor, as I was able to see it when I
    went looking. For what it's worth, I may be wrong, but it appears
    that the selections under Styler and Editor are the same package, as
    the size is the same. What software you actually get will depend on
    the selections you make at install time and the licenses you have.

    That's what I've been doing, but no PE 6.0. If you're seeing it, then it must be a licensing/maintenance issue for those who aren't. I know we aren't dropping maintenance, so it seems like we should see it.

    I'm seeing the opposite: Editor and Styler, but no PE.

    Could this simply be a stale browser page that needs refreshing? I see both
    PE and Editor and just downloaded both.
