I've been using FrameMaker for only a short time (~ one month), and
this license arrangement (license locked to a particular workstation)
was a BIG stumbling block in getting my management to buy into Frame.

Starting with the next release of Frame (1.12?) about end of July,
they are going to a more reasonable site license arrangement "due to
popular request". I was told this both by a Frame employee (unofficially)
and also by a Frame customer rep.

I think it's a good publishing system.
