Beta License term of 30 days, not very enticing !

30 days is not sufficient to allow new delvelopers to learn and begin appreciate the platform. In fact I think any serious developer that consider a new RIA IDE, would be put off by such terms. In my opinion it takes at least 90 days for experience developers to learn a new tool and develop their first "real" application.  30 days is only good for simplistic "canned" examples and tutorials.  I don't think thats what Adobe wants.
Ever since Flex 3 builder initial release ( with AIR etc.)  I felt that somehow Adobe is missing its opportunity to gain a major share of the RIA developers community ( not Flash & web designers but the professional SW developers of enterprise level systems) , and  it appears (to me) that even now with the amazing new tools and technologies, something is amiss in the approach, as though Adobe has given up on that major market and only expects to target its already existing and loyal followers.
As a loyal and long time Flex developer that only wishes the best and like to see Abobe's  platform&tools becoming THE foundation and THE mainstream technology for the whole RIA & Mobile  & Media entreprise level systems & applications I voice tis opinion.

Hi Yoav,
Beta testers who are already Flex Builder 3 customers will be provided an extension to continue testing the beta beyond 30 days.  Watch for communication about that soon.  The trial behavior of the beta does not necessarily reflect what we plan to support in the final.  I agree that it takes time to evaluate the platform and the tools, and we will determine the best way to support evaluators in the final release.

  • IPad not receiving PDFs they are arriving open. Had sender email to a friends iPad, she received correctly. This must be my problem. Never had this happen in past. What can I do, lay terms please, I'm not very technical!

    iPad not receiving PDFs, never had this problem in past. Had sender resend to a friend, she received them in correct format. Help, not very technical lay terms please.

    Unfortunately, most of my advice is in the "hindsight is 20-20" category.
    First off, I would never have purchased the peripheral accessories until the 14 day return period had expired. Second, you learned the hard way what the "14 days" really means.
    Too bad you didn't do any homework, reading this and other forums and tech sites. Even word of mouth from others. That, more than anything could have steered you towards different phone choices from the get-go and I will leave that there with no further comment other than to say most of the issues you described have been discussed in this forum, ad nauseam.
    Once you got into the refurbished phone exchanges, that is where things really went haywire. What someone tells you over the phone is a sketchy proposition, and when it comes down to it, it's your word against theirs.
    I think Verizon tried to make it right, though. Remember, they don't make the phones. Don't throw the baby out with the bathwater.
    You stated yourself you were a satisfied Verizon customer before this. Had the first two phones performed as they should, you would still be a satisfied Verizon customer.
    Doubt any of that will make you any happier, but after you went through the effort of writing such a long post, I thought I'd try.

    Hello emandinach, if you have problem with update firefox the better way is to '''download and install the new version'''.
    1. Download a copy of the latest firefox from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    2. '''Trash''' the current Firefox application to do a clean install.
    3. Install the version that you have downloaded.
    Do not select to remove your personal data, your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox#Mac Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data.

    Hi I had to recover my SCCM media server from SQL and now having trouble to install Windows Update. When I deploy Windows Update, I can see status is "UKNOWEN".

    Hi,
    I saw someone use the following steps to fix this issue.
    1. Unselect all Classisfications in SUP
    2. Run wsusutil reset
    3. Run another sync
    4. Add Classifications

  • The Microsoft Software License Terms have not been completely downloaded and cannot be accepted

    I have setup SCCM 2012 Sp1 on Server 2012 with WSUS using the internal database. When I sync updates in SCCM, I get the following error on some of the updates. I have run the sync 3 times over a day with the same updates failing

    I have seen this several times and it's often just a timing issue with downloading the EULA's that will go away after a few days or can be caused by a proxy server not allowing the download. Do you have a proxy?

  • Downstream WSUS server without internet connection, license terms not being downloaded

    We have 2 WSUS servers.
    ServerA is the upstream server and has access to the internet
    ServerB is configured as Autonomous downstream and has no internet access.
    Synchronisation between the two servers works fine, with the exception of updates that have license terms. As part of the synchronisation, the downstream server attempts to download the license terms directly from Microsoft but fails, since there is no internet
    connection.
    Is there a way of configuring it so that the license terms are download from the upstream server or something similar?

    with the exception of updates that have license terms. As part of the synchronisation, the downstream server attempts to download the license terms directly from Microsoft
    This is not how it works. If the downstream server is correctly configured as a downstream server, it downloads
    everything from the upstream server.
    How did you determine that your downstream server was attempting to download direct from Microsoft, or that it was directly related to anything being synchronized from the upstream server.

  • Failed to sync update. Error The Microsoft Software License Terms have not been completely downloaded and cannot be accepted.

    SCCM 2012 R2 on Windows Server 2012.  The SUP is unable to sync updates and the wsyncmgr.log shows "Failed to sync update <guid>.  Error: The Microsoft Software License Terms have not been completely downloaded and cannot be accepted.
     Source: Microsoft.UpdateServices.Internal.BaseApi.SoapExceptionProcessor.DeserializeAndThrow."  I've seen several posts about this all over the web, but every one of those references a proxy server issue.  We do not have a proxy server,
    so those solutions don't apply.  Has anyone seen or resolved this issue when a proxy server is not involved?

    The event log showed that WSUS was trying to store updates in an old location.  I apparently had not configured WSUS properly after I moved the directory.  Running "wsusutil movecontent" and restarting the SQL Server instance for the remote DB
    fixed the problem.

  • Please clarify license terms for the PDF test suites

    The Adobe Acrobat Engineering team site (http://acroeng.adobe.com/wp/) is a great resource, containing all sorts of test files that are very helpful when developing PDF tools. Unfortunately, that site does not make the license terms of the test suites clear. Would it be possible to clarify the terms underwhich those files have been made available, so that it is clear whether we can re-use them for testing purposes? (e.g. CC-BY or whatever).

    We don't have a product - I am one staff member from a number of international 'memory institutions' (national libraries, archives, etc.) that all work together to understand and document digital formats for long-term preservation purposes. As we pool knowledge across organizations, limiting documents to 'internal use' is problematic.
    Of course, we can share metadata about your documents, and refer to them by URL, but that gets tricky when we want to talk about details. Can we blog about a specific fragment of one of those documents? Can we include a screen shot? Where is the line? Simple licensing helps make this clear.
    Also, frankly, we are playing a very long game and have to plan for the possibility that that website, and even Adobe itself, might not exist one day. This means we are not keen to become dependent upon test suites that cannot be kept safe by being cloned across our organizations.
    EDIT: Hm, sorry if that came across as ungrateful. Thanks for offering to provide more examples, and of course, it's great to have these documents available (internal use is better than no use!). I just wanted to make it clear there are other use cases that these conditions can't cover.

    1. This procedure is a diagnostic test. It changes nothing, for better or worse, and therefore will not, in itself, solve the problem. But with the aid of the test results, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.
    Don't be put off merely by the seeming complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You do harder tasks with the computer all the time.
    2. If you don't already have a current backup, back up all data before doing anything else. The backup is necessary on general principle, not because of anything in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you're having any kind of trouble with the computer, you may be at higher than usual risk of losing data, whether you follow these instructions or not.
    There are ways to back up a computer that isn't fully functional. Ask if you need guidance.
    3. Below are instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it changes nothing. It doesn't send or receive any data on the network. All it does is to generate a human-readable report on the state of the computer. That report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can read it yourself without disclosing the contents to me or anyone else.
    You should be wondering whether you can believe me, and whether it's safe to run a program at the behest of a stranger. In general, no, it's not safe and I don't encourage it.
    In this case, however, there are a couple of ways for you to decide whether the program is safe without having to trust me. First, you can read it. Unlike an application that you download and click to run, it's transparent, so anyone with the necessary skill can verify what it does.
    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of the script have been posted on this website thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. Any one of the millions of registered users could have read the script and raised the alarm if it was harmful. Then I would not be here now and you would not be reading this message.
    Nevertheless, if you can't satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, don't follow them. Ask for other options.
    4. Here's a summary of what you need to do, if you choose to proceed:
    ☞ Copy a line of text in this window to the Clipboard.
    ☞ Paste into the window of another application.
    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.
    ☞ Paste the results, which will have been copied automatically, back into a reply on this page.
    The sequence is: copy, paste, wait, paste again. You don't need to copy a second time. Details follow.
    5. You may have started the computer in "safe" mode. Preferably, these steps should be taken in “normal” mode, under the conditions in which the problem is reproduced. If the system is now in safe mode and works well enough in normal mode to run the test, restart as usual. If you can only test in safe mode, do that.
    6. If you have more than one user, and the one affected by the problem is not an administrator, then please run the test twice: once while logged in as the affected user, and once as an administrator. The results may be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you can't log in as an administrator, test as the affected user. Most personal Macs have only one user, and in that case this section doesn’t apply. Don't log in as root.
    7. The script is a single long line, all of which must be selected. You can accomplish this easily by triple-clicking anywhere in the line. The whole line will highlight, though you may not see all of it in the browser window, and you can then copy it. If you try to select the line by dragging across the part you can see, you won't get all of it.
    Triple-click anywhere in the line of text below on this page to select it:

    Copy the selected text to the Clipboard by pressing the key combination command-C.
    8. Launch the built-in Terminal application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad. Click Utilities, then Terminal in the icon grid.
    Click anywhere in the Terminal window and paste by pressing command-V. The text you pasted should vanish immediately. If it doesn't, press the return key.
    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal window such as "Syntax error" or "Event not found," enter
    exec bash
    and press return. Then paste the script again.
    10. If you're logged in as an administrator, you'll be prompted for your login password. Nothing will be displayed when you type it. You will not see the usual dots in place of typed characters. Make sure caps lock is off. Type carefully and then press return. You may get a one-time warning to be careful. If you make three failed attempts to enter the password, the test will run anyway, but it will produce less information. In most cases, the difference is not important. If you don't know the password, or if you prefer not to enter it, press the key combination control-C or just press return  three times at the password prompt. Again, the script will still run.
    If you're not logged in as an administrator, you won't be prompted for a password. The test will still run. It just won't do anything that requires administrator privileges.
    11. The test may take a few minutes to run, depending on how many files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that's abnormally slow may take longer to run the test. While it's running, there will be nothing in the Terminal window and no indication of progress. Wait for the line
    [Process completed]
    to appear. If you don't see it within half an hour or so, the test probably won't complete in a reasonable time. In that case, close the Terminal window and report what happened. No harm will be done.
    12. When the test is complete, quit Terminal. The results will have been copied to the Clipboard automatically. They are not shown in the Terminal window. Please don't copy anything from there. All you have to do is start a reply to this comment and then paste by pressing command-V again.

  • How can you create monthly items by day not date?

    (This question has been posed in the past, but I'm just checking that there aren't any recent developments that anyone is aware of).
    On my old Palm I used to be able to set up events monthly by day, e.g. every 3rd Thursday; I could even distinguish e.g. between last Wed of the month and every 4th Wed or every 5th Wed. Is this possible on calendar iPhone 3GS? I can't find how - it only seems possible to have monthly events by date (which I'm guessing in most people's lives is not very usual way of organising yourself).

    Grumble. Yes, I lament that Palm calendar (and all its personal info management stuff) remains superior to iPhone. I've finally made the switch from Palm Treo to iPhone. Treo was better in PIM and was really still better in Apps in my field, medicine.
    I wonder if the solution is to use another calendar management system like Google Calendar and sync the events into one's iPhone? I'm trying to do just that, although I must say that Google Calendar also does not have the breadth of calendar entry choices (like every other week or every 3rd Thursday) that I need. So I'm still looking.
    If you solve this issue, be sure to post here so I learn of it! Thanks.
