An official email from Ancestry has notified the users of FamilyTreeMaker of their decision to "stop selling FTM as of Dec 31, 2015". All features of their software will continue to function until 1 Jan 2017 to sync to Ancestry trees online; customer care will also go away for FTM on same date.
More info on Ancestry blog: http://blogs.ancestry.com/ancestry/2015/12/08/ancestry-to-retire-family-tree-maker-software/
DO NOT PURCHASE THIS SOFTWARE if your main objective is to research online in order to sync w. FTM.
In summary, I would not recommend Family Tree Maker (by Ancestry.com) to a friend.
