Yes, it's free. I think it's time to give it a more serious look. It appears to be under active development and all the open issues are visible on github so I can see at a glance what kind of gotchas I might experience. With SL things are somewhat opaque in that department. I really shouldn't slag too hard on Articulate - their tools are not really aimed at developers like myself in the first place so I shouldn't be surprised when the shoe doesn't fit!

Ugh...I was hoping for better news. I work for a financial services company with stringent guidelines around the software which can be used by its team members. All software must be packaged, tested and certified to ensure compliance with these guidelines. Certain features must be disabled, such as automatic updates. (If we wish to install an update, that update must be packaged, tested and certified as well.) Additionally, we couldn't use features/apps which would allow us to publish to an external cloud environment outside of our corporate intranet. To do so, would risk violating company policy or worse. The licensing model is a pain too...subscription-pricing is what has been driving us away from Articulate's chief competitor. Every year it seems our finance department has to re... Expand

Hi Anika, I'm not sure whether this applies to your org or not, but I found this in the FAQ: Can I get an academic discount? Yes! Students, teachers, and employees at accredited academic institutions will receive 50 percent off Articulate 360 and Articulate 360 Teams. The discount is automatically applied once you verify eligibility during the checkout process. (https://www.articulate.com/pricing)

Hello David, We will release the next perpetual versions of Storyline and Studio next year. Just a note that these products will not include integration with the web apps in Articulate 360 such as Content Library and Articulate Review. We truly haven’t set a firm release date for the next perpetual versions of Storyline and Studio (we’re not being coy!) but it will be in 2017. We’ll share news of it in the community when we have a firmer date. Additional pricing information can be read in this post: https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/articulate-360#reply-391802

Thank you, Bret; this is good news! It would be a relief knowing that Articulate will continue to support perpetual versions of their tools for the future. I wish we could use the 360 versions, but that is not possible for the reasons I indicated in my post above. Will eagerly keep an eye out for the perpetual versions of Storyline and Studio in 2017. Again, thank you!

Took the 360 Suite for a test drive and I can say that I love the changes to publishing and responsiveness. The new interaction and options for Storyline and Studio are going to be fun to work with! But the subscription price and the annual only re-up is a deal breaker for so many companies and individuals. The cloud integration will place Articulate on the "no fly list" for many government and financial companies. Shame. Unless there is a change in the pricing model there will be a revolt akin to the one Adobe experienced with Captivate.

Hi David, This is posted in the FAQ under pricing: I'm due for a PMP upgrade. Can I get a discount on my Articulate 360 subscription instead? Yes, if you're a Storyline 2 or Studio ’13 customer due for a PMP upgrade, enter the Storyline 2 or Studio ’13 serial number associated with your PMP at checkout to receive a discount. Receiving the discount fulfills delivery of your PMP upgrade.

Hey Virak! Glad to hear that you like what you see with Articulate 360; thanks for that compliment. Individual Articulate 360 apps are not available for purchase, but we'll be sure to let the community know when we've released the next perpetual version of Storyline!

Well Done on a much more mature UI! Its been needed. Great content library and responive templates for easy and quick assembly. I like the Web-Design feel and the clean and crisp shapes of objects add a better quality feel to the projects. Blocks is brilliant, a much needed concept in eLearning design that has been around in design for sometime. The workbench/menu for Articulate 360 with all the apps is really intuitive Lastly, I like the steps you are taking to come closer in your own ability to be more immediatly responsive to the changing needs of learning designers.

Hey Pedro - I just wanted to follow up with you. Were you able to get into a case with our support engineers? I'm happy to follow along or assist however I can! When you install an update to our perpetual versions of the software, it is expected behavior to be prompted for activation. https://articulate.com/support/article/you-must-reactivate-after-installing-software-updates However, with updates to Articulate 360, you should not be prompted to login to your desktop app again. https://community.articulate.com/series/122/articles/articulate-360-using-the-desktop-authoring-apps#update

So far, very impressed with what I've seen. Little touches like being able to name motion paths and the additional object events in Storyline really make a difference! Articulate Review has been the standout feature for me. If I were to make a suggestion it would be to have the option of exporting the comments as a document, that would make a huge difference in getting stakeholders on board to utilise it!

Congrats Articulate on an exciting new line of products. Are we able to buy only a subscription to SL 360 without having to take on the other products (like Adobe allows)? I don't foresee a need for the other products. If we're not able to do that, what is the plan for customers that only want Storyline? Will SL2 be updated or a new version released? Will Articulate continue to update SL 2 as new HTML5 standards come? I feel the bundling of products is a bit unfair. It makes customers incur a substantial cost increase for products they are not asking for nor need. You're making SL customers pay for the development of other products. Why not see if those products can stand on their own? I welcome paying for a new version of SL, but this really complicates things.

Hi, Cat. Articulate will continue to support the last 2 perpetual versions of each product (currently SL1, SL2, ST09, and ST13) as well as our new subscription tools. In other words, we'll keep supporting Storyline 2 for a long time. Our perpetual customers got us where we are today, so we're committed to you, and we won't abandon you.

I have to agree with my disappointment with the subscription model. Yes you get access to the entire suite, but for a lot of end users that wasn't required. I exclusively used Storyline and Replay and had no need for the studio suite. As a freelancer I could make the case for the price of the software because I knew I would leverage it over a few years. I also question what this will do to the strength of the community though. As more and more users are forced to abandon the product, the breadth of the community which was its greatest strength, will inevitably shrink. Lets hope some kind of ala carte perpetual license model comes out of this discussion.

Storyline 360 has good improvements in responsibility and interactivity tools and animations but downside is that resources need subscription. And some facilities could be add to it as having timer control its very important to have timers in interactive courses and games and make decisions based on time. I send a feature request for timer and capability of assign a background music to the entire project not only slides.Assign a free cloud storage space to users of storyline was another mine feature request, but now its need subscription. Next feature request was Direct math equation type in storyline. Having states for grouped object is another feature request. Possibility of cloning objects in preview or published projects. But still in my opinion storyline is the best course devel... Expand
