Every version of Frame, when installed without a serial number becomes a
demo. In demo mode Frame disables certain features like save and will print
a watermark on each page printed.

The scope of Frame's capabilities cannot be truly understood without
immersing yourself in the product. Frame is known for its steep learning
curve. You cannot really understand how useful the product is without using
it for a project. This will be especially true now that version 7
incoporates the features in the old Frame+SGML product. However, the demo
does come with complete documentation and playing with it will give you some
feeling for its capabilities. I tried the demo myself in version 3.2.

I'd personally recommend your company cough up the dough for a single copy
and charge it to Research and Development. The cost is trivial compared to
the cost of the time you use to learn the program. However, when you are
finished, my bet is that you will find that Frame will meet your company's
need for its documentation.
