We to repackage the so that we can distribute the software through Microsoft Group Policy. Unfortunately group policy cannot distribute exe's, it can only distribute msi files. Something that Adobe doesn't provide.
We own a volume licence of Framemaker so I don't see what the problem is.
However if the EULA doesn't allow this then we will just have to wear that and do the installations the long and hard way. I will have a thorough look at the EULA.

If this is the case then isn't it a bit silly that Adobe would prevent corporate customers from distributing their products using products that are widely available. And when an update becomes available you have to visit all those PC's again. What a waste of resources.
