Source Files
I echo all of the above comments. I love the clean look and ease of use of Articulate products, but I also need to be able to provide source files to my clients. As a freelancer, once I develop a course, I need to be able to hand it over to my client so that they can make changes/edits on their own. Some of my clients also need to be able to host courses on their own servers. If I am reading the above comments correctly, at this point, the only way they'd be able to make changes would be to add them as collaborators. This would require me to maintain my subscription well into the future. Given that the above comments are a couple of years old, have there been any updates on this issue? Has anyone come up with a workable solution?
Get the client to buy and maintain an Articulate licence for as long as they want maintain the code. Transfer the course to them using the 'send a copy' feature. Hosting the published course is fine since that's just a bundle of web pages / zip package. Editing requires the hosting platform which is proprietary. I guess it makes more sense for Articulate to just getmore people to buy and hold a licence rather than offering a 'long term archive' or 'downloadable source package'. I can't see this changing.

Yes, that's the conclusion I came to as a workaround but it's a hefty price
tag for a client to take on just for the odd small edit or picture change.
Ideally, I guess, it would be nice if Articulate had a subscription for
clients that would allow for very limited edits to existing courses that
clients own.
