Hello Everyone,

Today, I am pleased to announce the availability of TCS 5.0.1 update, which includes the latest versions of Adobe Captivate and Adobe Presenter products. We had included Captivate 7 and Presenter 9 in TCS 5 at launch, however, since we have released Captivate 8 and Presenter 10 recently, we are happy to include these newer versions of the products in TCS 5. All existing TCS 5 customers are eligible for this free update.
