Transfer Rise source files to someone without an Articulate licence
I will shortly be leaving my current company. When I leave there will be no one with an active Articulate subscription. I have authored multiple courses in Rise. Is there any way that I can save down the Rise source files, or transfer them to someone that doesn't have a licence, so that in the future, if a new licence is purchased, they can access the courses at that time (so they can edit them)?
I have read through some other threads and it doesn't look hopeful, but they were quite old, so I'm hoping something has changed!
Thanks
This continues to be a major issue with Articulate. I was just reading a thread about this same topic (with many, many replies) from 7 or 8 years ago. I'm amazed that Articulate is not willing to address this, and ultimately, you have to think that they are ignoring it so that they can keep subscription revenue high. Think about all the wasted subscription fees inactive customers are paying just to keep control over their files, even when their organizations or clients may not be engaged in active course development. Or of all the Articulate users who have mistakenly allowed their subscriptions to lapse, maybe because of a changed credit card number, or lack of funds, and after six months or so, their files (and all the hard work it took to create them) are GONE. Finally, think about all the corporations who simply cannot consider using Articulate because their policies require that they have ownership and control of their source files. It wouldn't be difficult for Articulate to allow downloading of source files for safekeeping while limiting editing to active subscription holders.
I have really enjoyed using Articulate products for the past 10 years or so, but this kind of ignorant and selfish policy has made me start looking for alternatives.
Thanks Karl.
Hi
I've just picked up this discussion and I am in the same position, as my file is coursework it needs to be assessed externally. I've published to web but what format should it open with?
In the 'olden' days with storyline, there was an option to published as an HTML file. Is this possible with Rise?
If you could advise that would be great.
Thanks.

Hi Dot,
A Web version of a Rise course needs to be published to a public facing web server.
Thank you for confirming
Hi Nicola,
The only way to maintain access to an editable version of a Rise course, is to always have an active Articulate 360 subscription.
You can export a Web version of the course. It will be a fully functional version of the course, however it is not editable.
