Flex Builder 3 trial expired

I installed Flex Builder 3 today (I already have Eclipse).
Fired up Eclipse, created a new Flex project and I immediately get
a message telling me my trial license has expired. I have never
installed it before. I have obviously done something wrong but
don't know what.
Don't who to turn to or who and how I should contact about
it. Any advice would be fantastic.
Thanks!

Ah…I am sorry, I also noticed it wasn’t listed
after my post later in the night. Yes, Adobe employees do post on
these forums frequently so you should post here what OS you have
and if it’s a 32 or 64 bit.
Also they have a Trail Download Information page:
http://www.adobe.com/support/service/trial.html
I am not sure if that page will help you or not. Good
luck.

Can I re-install Flex Builder trial after 60 days again?

As far as I understand Flex Builder trial version stops working after 60 days.
Can I after the 60 days uninstall Flex Builder and re-install it again with 60 more days or does Flex Builder somewhere
(e.g. in Registry ) set a flag that Flex Builder was already installed?
In other words do the 60 days count per installation or per computer?
Peter

No.
But if you are a student you can receive Flex Builder for free (google it).
And of course you can use Flex SDK absolutely free with Eclipse (except Flex Data Visualisation components - AdvancedDataGrid, Charts).

What happens when the Flex 2 builder trial expires?

Here in South Africa bandwidth is quite expensive and I would
like to know if I can still use Eclipse for other purposes after
the Flex 2 builder trial has expired. If it totally disables
Eclipse it means that I have to download the standard version of
Eclipse as well as Flex builder, doubling the bandwidth
usage.

You just lose Flex function. You can still use other
functions in Eclipse.

Is the a student version of flex builder 3?

I was wondering if there was a student lisencing option for
flex builder 3?
Thanks.

you get the activation key you can activate that copy of flex
builder.
here is the link : https://freeriatools.adobe.com/
hope this helps.

Thank you very much for informaing me about this, I had no
idea I could get it for free. Unfortunetely I do not get an ID card
because I am an online-student so all I have is an ID number...so I
sent my acedemic advisor an email asking for a documented

Thanks!

Unable to download Flex Builder 3.0.2 Professional Eclipse Plug-in Trial

Since yesterday I am unable to download the Flex Builder plugin for eclipse, having tried all the combinations of Language/OS available for this product, browsers and two different PCs at my home.
http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=flex_eclipse
Using the link above the case is always the same no matter what browser/computer. After the "Download" button is pressed the website "freezes" for about 30 seconds, then it refreshes and soon an email message arrives with the title
"Helpful links and resources for your Flex Builder 3 Professional Trial".
Furthermore when I visit a link provided in the email Getting Started - Flex 3 Getting Started - Adobe Learning Resources, all the hyperlinks such as Watch, Full Tutorial, Download Project, PHP and Java will simply redirect me to the very same page (i.e. the one provided in this sentence).
I'd appreciate any help given on this matter, thanks.

Flex Builder 3 Beta 2 Expires early when using Flex 2 key, and new SDK

I was told to use my Flex 2 key to extend the Beta period for
Flex Builder 3, this worked, today it said I have 99 days left.
but When I installed the latest SDK and restarted Flex
Builder 3 Beta 2, it says it expires in 15 days.
If I put the original SDK back and restart it goes back to 99
days, so If I switch the SDKs while Eclipse is already loaded it
seems to stay at 99 days, so now before I start Eclipse I have to
move the orig SDK back, start Eclipse, then switch SDKs.
This does not make much sense to me, why does the SDK affect
the Builder Beta Period at all? is there a fix for this, I have a
project due but 31st, and I would be screwed if it dies before
then, I already have flex 2 but I cannot roll back as this project
relies on Flex Builder 3 Functionality.

I the probelm we are stating is that we DID enter our flex 2
key and it DID initially set the expire date out, but I needed to
use a later SDK and thats when the problem occured. without the
latest the ImageSnapshot.captureImage does not work at all for me,
so must use a later SDK. However this morning my Eclipse started
stating 96 days remaining and I am still using the latest SDK, so
no idea why it works sometimes and not others.

License not present. With the trial version only limited replays are allowed -- Flex builder 4.5 Premium eclipse plugin with SDK 3.5

Hi ,
We are using Flex SDK 3.5 and using eclipse to build the war in order to make it automation compatible , Right now we tried with Premium version of Flex Builder 4.5 eclipse plugging to build and make application automation capable. But we are facing issues in terms of license , After deploying the automation compatible build we are getting error message "License not present. With the trial version only limited replays are allowed".
Previously we are using Flex Builder 4.0 and everything was working fine .
Is Flex Builder 4.5 doesn't support SDK 3.5 ?
Please help .
Thanks in advance
Thanks and Regards
Sunil Kumar

with trial version (FB basic) you can record/replay only 30
script lines. You need to buy FB pro license to remove this
restriction

Adobe Flex Builder 3 beta expiration

Hi Everyone,
I'm currently developing an application for Education
purposes in the UK using Flex Builder 3 beta (Built in Eclipse).
I struggled all the day with Adobe France, Adobe Europe,
Resellers to find a solution : our products will be locked in 5
days because we will be at the end of the demo.
I looked for education licenses for Flex Builder 3 beta, and
it seems that it's not possible for now. They told me to ask there
for a solution.
How can we continue working on Flex Builder 3 beta ?
Regards
Eric

We're in the same boat here - the the behavour of xsd:all in
BETA 3 renders our Flex app virtually useless because of
communication issues with the backend webservice. We have studied
the proposed workaround suggested, unfortunately we only control
the FLEX app - we do not control the WS we have to integrate with.
As a result we've gone back to BETA 2 to do some critical
changes in the software but the "Beta expired." message we've been
receiving is really not well received. As we have been very
proactive in supporting development in the BETA phases including
reporitng bugs, we think that Adobe shoudl also have some
flexibility here and offer ways to extend the BETA 2. We're not
asking for any type of support during that phase - purely the
ability to compile our source until we can implement the full work
around which will allow the software to run on BETA 3. The
suggestion to change dates or go to previous restore points do not
work well here with our numerous developers.

Flex Builder 3 forgets valid serial number, constant prompt

Hi all,
I installed Flex Builder 3 on a Windows XP 32 bit machine under one user account. It came up and worked great for several days. Later on, I made another user account and tried to use Flex Builder 3. Each time it starts up it says my trial period is expired and I need to enter a serial number. At that point I re-enter my serial and it accepts it as valid. However, as soon as I move to build a project or do practically anything, the program re-prompts that my trial period is expired and I need to re-enter a valid serial.
I have uninstalled and reinstalled Flex Builder a number of times, but that does not help this issue. I have deleted the file c:\Documents and Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Flex\license.properties, but that does not fix the issue. Deleting this file gives me a new trial period and the same behavior of accepting and "forgetting"/"ignoring" my valid serial number. One note, this file does contain my serial number and the date and time that the program most recently accepted it as a valid serial number.
Are there registry keys that perhaps did not get unset or other "magic files" that I need to delete to completely reset the serialization process? It is very frustrating that it is not accepting and "remembering" the valid license key.
Thanks for any guidance!

I have the same problem, but it's unsolved, cause I'm working on a mac…

Flex Builder 2 corrupting Eclipse 3.2.1

Flex Builder 2 has some issues with Eclipse 3.2.1. I was
working with the trial version, so maybe the full version does not
exhibit these same problems, but if that is the case, then it is
disappointing that adobe is trying to support two separate products
instead of trying to resolve issues.
The largest issue with the Flex Builder 2 plugin for eclipse
is that if you have a flex project in the same workspace as other
projects (like dynamic Java projects) the flex builder 2 will try
to incorporate those projects in to the flex project when you do a
build or a clean only on that specific flex project. As a result,
eclipse consumes enormous amounts of memory that even with 2 gigs
allocated to the heap, it runs in to out of memory exceptions
frequently and the stability of eclipse has degraded significantly
since I installed this product! The flex projects that I had loaded
were some of the examples dealing with SpringGraph so I would not
consider them as being large or complex. When there is a build
occuring on just a Flex Project, it SHOULD HAVE NO BUSINESS even
scanning other non-related projects regardless as to if they are in
the same workspace!!!
I am not too impressed with flex's interface with eclipse on
the memory, the instability it introduced to eclipse, or how
SpringGraph handles large graphs, so I did not pursue getting a
license for future development. I also felt that the asking price
for the Flex Builder 2 is steep for what you get and its maturity
level. As such, when the license expired, Adobe had the nerve to
disable core functionality within Eclipse!!! For example, it would
not allow a CSS document to be opened in the CSS Editor! It
Hijacked the basic Eclipse functionality!!!
I am very disappointed in how the Flex Builder 2 plugin for
Eclipse does not play friendly!
But at least it does allow itself to be disabled. I am
grateful for at least that level of accepted behavior.

Cluebcke, thanks for the reply!
I am using a compaq nx7010 laptop with 2 gigs ram, 60 gig hd,
eclipse is set to utilize a minimum of 512 megs and a maximum of
1540 megs for the heap space. Virtual memory is set to a max of
4092 megs. Fairly generous I would assume. I doubt it was a
configuration issue, but hey, I’m open to learning and the
best lessons are through mistakes! ;-)
Sorry, I was being a bit sarcastic when I mentioned that
perhaps the issues were related to the free trial version knowingly
perfectly well that in fact there is no difference between the two
products. But I guess I was also conceding a possible out for Flex
too. Hmm...
To clarify my comment about aggressively compiling against
other projects:
1) I had about 4 demos loaded in to a workspace (269 files,
82 folders, and 7.2 megs including my 1 test project as mentioned
in item 4)
2) I had about 7 large Java projects loaded in to the same
workspace
3) Total workspace size was about 22,000+ files and 1600+
megs, give or take a fair number either way.
4) I was making changes to a simple flex project based upon
a SpringGraph demo
5) I choose to manually build only the small flex project I
was working on so as to replace all the generated files. NOTE:
Might have been a clean, but only on that one flex project and NOT
the whole work space. It takes too long to rebuild all of my other
Java projects so that option has been unchecked for quite a while.
6) What I saw in the Eclipse progress window was a list of
files within my flex project getting reconstructed, and then it
started to scan through the other projects too. All of their names
and resources were flashed within that window.
7) When finished with the build of the ONE flex project, the
Java heap was basically gone. Starting a TomCat server would cause
an out of memory exception. Recall I have allocated 1.5 gigs for
the heap.
8) Checking the other Java projects and Flex projects, the
timestamps on the objects did not reflect that they were just
rebuilt. They were untouched. Proof that I did not perform a build
or a clean over the whole workspace.
I agree with you whole heartedly that unless I explicitly
select “build all” or “clean all” it should
not touch other projects in anyway. But it did.
As far as the issue with the CSS editor, I understand and
accept your point. Perhaps as a friendly suggestion, when the trial
expires, the plugin should uninstall itself. This may be very
doable, and still have the functionality of a reminder and
reactivation upon registration if Flex Builder actually had a
second plugin called something like "FlexBuilder Registration"
which would "intercept" attempts to edit and utilize the
FlexBuilder only functionality so an informative message could be
displayed. The benefit would be that normal functionality for
non-flex resources such as CSS would return to normal.
Anyway, as I stated before, I was not too impressed with
performance of large graphs. What I consider to be large would be
on the magnitude of 20,000 to 100,000+. It would need to display
just about all nodes, or at lease an abstract relationship of those
nodes rolled up to a higher level. I realize that SpringGraph is
not ideal for those situations to begin with, but I was exploring
the idea of writing other plugins to deal with other graphing
formats.
I guess to be fair to Flex in general, I should probably ask
a general question of how well does Flex deal with large data sets
that need to be resident and the manipulations of those data sets?
Thanks for your time,
Scott Tabar

Problem activating after trial expired

I used the trial version of Flex Builder 3 Plugin for Eclipse, but didn't buy it before the trial period expired because I couldn't afford it. A few weeks later, I noticed the Adobe program for unemployed engineers, applied for it, got accepted, downloaded and installed the Flex Builder 3 Pro Plugin for Eclipse that is part of this program. I received the serial number to activate the copy, but when I open Eclipse, I don't see anything about Flex there - no welcome screen, no Flex perspective, etc., no way to activate it.
How do I activate the copy of Flex Builder?

The only people that can help you are Adobe Customer service. You must call them.

How activate Adobe Flex Builder 3

Hi,
I'm using the Flex 2 SDK from Adobe Flex Builder in trial version.
I would buy the license but I can't buy it.
I 've looked at the new Adobe Flash Builder but this doesn't include SDK 2.
How I can get the license?
Thank you

Flex Builder 3 will not work on Mac

Flex Builder 3 & Mac OSX:
The hard disk on my mac failed, lost everything, including
Flex Builder 2. I installed a new hard disk, and downloaded the
"trial" of Flex Builder 3 (FB 3). The software seemed to install
fine(no errors in the install log).
However, when I run FB 3, the default front page does not
load, and tells me that the flash player as stopped because of a
un-safe operation. I think okay, that is fine, but I do like the
page with the links to the docs, and adobe resources. I try to
build an app, default just dragged a button on the stage, and
complied. However, the page does not compile. I only get the "grey"
page, with no button.
After this I re-installed the flash player (9.0.115), but
still no love. I have re-installed FB 3, but the same results.
I am using Mac OS X (power PC). Can anybody help me. I am a
student at the University of Hawaii, and I am teaching myself Flex.
I am thinking that the error might be with the flash player, and I
am trying to install flash CS3, thinking that if I can get the
stand alone flash player that way, maybe then this will work.
Please help,
John

Hi Michael,
Thanks so much for all your help!
I just installed FB 3 again, but still no love, yikes! I
don't get it FB 2 was painless,...
I have the same issues, and safari does not handle any flex
apps, just a blank(grey page). Can I ask a favor? Can you check
this link, a flex charting app. It can view it perfectly in Camino,
but just a blank page in safari. Could you check this link in
safari?
http://cfhawaii.com/Charts/DrillDownWithEffects.html
I also still get the can't find the debugger player.
Maybe I need to take a on-line course(bring that I am in
hawaii) to learn how to get everything set up.
I send a bug report to adobe, and I am hoping that somebody
gets back to me, and can help me fix the problems, as I couldn't
even registrar FB3, I want to start learning flex, not dealing with
this.
Thanks so much for all your help`-`
John

Thank you for your response. Being a newbie to Microsoft
Vista (which I recommend the world to reject) I don't know exactly
how to describe how I got the install of Flex Builder 2 to work.
But, a friend of mine walked me through turning off the Windows
Defender security settings as well as all security settings related
to my user's setting. I believe I disabled two Vista "features",
and then the install worked. The only thing was that the checkboxes
during the install program did not appear, but clicking the
respective questions themselves did the trick (i.e. do you agree to
software license?' and 'install Flash player on IE / Firefox?')
Sorry I can't be more specific... but, for anyone that has
this problem, in the words of my friend, "Turn everything off in
Vista you can, then try it!".
Good luck,
