I think you're on to something. All members of B4Print should sayd B4Print is a mandatory and necessary requirement, with a yearly fee... something like $99/yr. All our companies pay up the $99, and Joe keeps $49, and sends $50 back to us. It's a win-win!
"There's been a lot of research recently on how hard it is to dislodge an impression once it's been implanted in someone's mind. (This is why political attack ads don't have to be true to be effective. The other side can point out their inaccuracies, but the voter's mind privileges the memory of the original accusation, which was juicier than any counterargument ever could be.)"

Someone who backed up the old Swatches told me they could be re-imported into the latest one.
Different approach to what was discussed before which was putting them back in the same file system location.

From what he said, going through the import process via the Swatch worked.

I was on a call today, Pantone and xrite were represented. I learned a little more...
It seems to me that unless you're a content creator, you may survive without Pantone Connect.
You can receive a file with color(s) from the new libraries and use it, just not alter or add colors...
And if the InDD has a psd with PMS colors from there, it may look grey or black on the screen...
Anyways, $90 / year per seat, floating seat even basically...
Our current thought is buy 8 and overkill it or buy 1 or 2 and share. Too early to tell, corporate has yet to negotiate $$
Those days are gone forever
I should just let them go but...

It appears that Illustrator v 27.00 still has the spot Pantone books, but v 27.01 does not.

... went to the Pantone site to get a screen mix of a color...  all the values are blurred out so you can't read them unless you have a license for connect

This last weekend I ran across the Freetone site.
Some might find it interesting.

My guess is it is a limitation of his store software.
I created an expiring email on my domain to download it. If I understand the license correctly I am free to distribute it to any non Adobe employee, so feel free do click below.

Honestly, I am not even sure it will do me any good, I already have the old books saved, as well as an excel file of the LAB color builds for the Indesign color books.
