Product Information
Adobe FrameMaker Publishing Server is an enterprise software that keeps publishing on track in a world on the go. Remotely automate tasks via a web-accessible dashboard. Publish WYSIWYG PDFs for your DITA, XML, or non-XML content. Use templates and presets for consistent output. Deliver content as Responsive HTML5, PDF, mobile app, EPUB, and more. Efficiently manage high volumes of automation jobs with multiple instances of FrameMaker on one or more systems. Work with leading Content Management Systems (CMSs) out of the box or use web APIs to quickly connect with other CMSs.
FrameMaker Publishing Server is ideal for enterprises that need an automated, server-based publishing solution to deliver high volumes of professional-quality XML and non-XML technical content to multiple channels, formats, and devices. They want a custom publishing solution that can integrate with their CMS, schedule publishing tasks, and be managed centrally or accessed remotely.
Adobe FrameMaker is a complete solution for authoring and publishing technical content across channels, mobile devices, and formats.
Adobe FrameMaker Publishing Server is an enterprise software to automate multichannel publishing that lets you access publishing services remotely and output technical content in multiple formats and as mobile apps. FrameMaker Publishing Server supports many more output formats than FrameMaker. It lets you automate and schedule publishing services and access and manage them remotely.
* Adobe FrameMaker is a separate product from Adobe FrameMaker Publishing Server and must be purchased separately.
With the XML Documentation for Adobe Experience Manager, you can publish DITA content to Experience Manager Sites and Experience Manager Mobile. However, publishing to other formats, like Responsive HTML5, PDF, EPUB, and Kindle, requires FrameMaker Publishing Server.
FrameMaker Publishing Server contains a license that specifically permits the use of FrameMaker on a server or in an automated environment. The EULA for FrameMaker more tightly defines the license for use interactively on an individual user’s desktop.

Yes. Each license of FrameMaker Publishing Server allows you to install the software on multiple machines.
The pricing/licensing of FrameMaker Publishing Server is based on the number of cores* used by the computer on which it is running. The core-based pricing model of FrameMaker Publishing Server requires the licensee to purchase one license for four cores. If more cores than the license permits are present, it shall be required by the licensee to configure the computer (using a reliable and verifiable means of hardware or software partitioning) so that the total number of cores made available to FrameMaker Publishing Server are as per the terms of the license.
The use of cores beyond the licensed amount will be considered a violation of the EULA.
* ”Core” means a physical or virtual core on a Physical or Virtual Machine that is capable of independently manipulating and operating the software.
You need one license of FrameMaker Publishing Server for four cores (any additional cores will be considered a separate CPU). For example, a quad-core machine will need one license of FrameMaker Publishing Server if you want to use all four cores. Similarly, an octa-core machine will need two licenses of FrameMaker Publishing Server if you want to use all eight cores.
Yes, you can buy only one license of FrameMaker Publishing Server for an octa-core machine, but you shall be required to configure the computer (using a reliable and verifiable means of hardware or software partitioning) so that only four cores are made available to FrameMaker Publishing Server. The use of cores beyond the licensed amount will be considered a violation of the EULA.
For new installations where Adobe FrameMaker will be used in a server-based or automated environment (for purposes such as automatic catalog or database publishing or generating personalized documents, customized books, or digital publications), you will need to purchase FrameMaker Publishing Server.
The latest version of Adobe FrameMaker Publishing Server is only available on volume licensing programs like Enterprise Term License Agreement (ETLA) or Value Incentive Plan (VIP).
The latest release of Adobe FrameMaker Publishing Server will start supporting Feature Restricted Licensing as a deployment option. Feature Restricted Licensing is recommended for organizations that have very specific needs to control data flow in and out of locked down or restricted network environments.
