One other thing I don’t understand is why Adobe would continue to push the Captivate Certification for Captivate 2019 when the program is going though what appears to be a major update.

It sounds like you’ve been in the game a while. And maybe that is why the change on Feb 15 to only subscription for Captivate/Charm. I don’t mind that with a subscription-based product.

Character Animator just added two major pieces and instead of waiting until a whole version was ready, they created beta builds adding each one when it was ready and had people kick the tires. That said, I would very much prefer to see development more like they’ve done with XD, Character Animator etc. I would not be surprised to find out that Adobe is trying to steal a march on the competition and added a feature that required they pull back and do additional testing before releasing the beta.
#Adobe captivate 5 release dates license
At least they added teams functionality after I complained about them trying to tell us that per their EULA, the person assigned the license owns it, not the corporate and legal entity that bought it and they agreed to reset the licenses when we had turnover. Articulate has a lot of problems with it when working in a highly-regulated environment, not the least of which is their silly way of handling licensing that interferes with regular management at the enterprise level.
#Adobe captivate 5 release dates software
I’ve been working with the software since it was Robodemo 4 and was extending it then, making it do things that Macromedia said it would not. Pooja showed off the initial Project Charm demo for us at the office when she visited in 2019. However, because of how the Captivate Team has (and has not communicated) with its users about this update, I would never recommend Captivate to anyone else no matter how extraordinary the “Charm” release turns out to be (and I have hundreds of thousands of visitors to my education websites) because I would not want to be the reason someone else had to go though this kind of frustration for future updates of Captivate. The main reason I am waiting to see the release is I because I use many other Adobe products for all my content creation and realize how important the “integration” of products can be in developing content. And perhaps it will have been worth waiting for. I’ll stick around to see the new version of Captivate, and perhaps is will be as “extraordinary” as advertised. Perhaps the Captivate Team thinks they are being cute or clever or dare I say “charming” by communicating this way. However they have been communicating with Captivate users as if they were children on a road trip or visiting Harry Potter world rather than communicating with Captivate users as professionals who are paying a monthly fee for the product, using it for every day work tasks and expect to have the best possible and most up-to-date authoring tool at their disposal. The Adobe Captivate Team has been communicating with it’s users. “Mystical Egg”…”Fabulous Sounds”…”Pixie Dust”…”Colorful Swirling Patterns”…Excitement Brewing”…
