Unable to use installed Flash Builder 4 after having uninstalled Trial

I have been using the Flash Builder 4 trial for a while now, and have since purchased a version of the software to use on my project.  However, despite having uninstalled the trial version and run the recommended registry cleaning scripts, whenever I install the purchased version of Flash Builder 4 and try to use it, I see the splash screen for the trial version coming up.
It has an option to enter a serial number, six sets of four digits each, but the serial number on the back of the my Flash Builder 4 disc case is only eight digits long total, and doesn't fit that space.  Even then, I would not expect to see the splash screen, which explicitly mentions the trial, coming up after having uninstalled the trial.
If in uninstall the paid version, running eclipse does not cause the splash screen to appear.  However, as soon as I do install it, and try to run with it, the trial version spalsh screen appears again.
I had asked for help preivously, case number: #0203692609
But the registry cleaning programs I was recommended there have not stopped the issue.

Hi Richard,
I think the serial number keys are always 24-digits long, so the 8-digit number you found must be something else. If you look around at the rest of your product packaging, you should be able to locate the 24-digit number you can use.
More info here:

The Trial mode you're seeing is expected until after you activate the product with your SN.

  • Cant remove/re-install flash builder after losing secondary drive

    OS: Windows 7
    FlashBuilder: 4.5
    I recently lost my slave HDD that flash builder was installed on. When I try to reinstall flash builder on my primary drive, it seems to be picking up install information (possibly from registry) from my already installed copy on the lost drive, and wont let me change it. As you can probably imagine, the install fails when trying to install to a drive that doesn't exist anymore.
    I cant uninstall the old copy of flash builder, for the same reason that the drive doesn't exist anymore
    I've tried running the Adobe Creative Suite Cleaner Tool - but that in essence did nothing
    Any ideas?

    For what it's worth, Christopher and other posters, only the info upto and including the Exception: and the Thread that crashed is of any use AT ALL. If you pare down the post, it's easier to weed thru all that chaff.
    From your posting, it does look an awful lot like something about Quicktime is giving you the problem. It may be video card related, but remember, CPU upgrades like you are running (a 1.25gig CPU in a 6 year old computer) are notoriously flakey. Speeds (and the hardware to handle them, including faster ram) have gone up 1600% since your system was manufactured.
    I'd wager, btw, that you could take a video card newer than the Rage 128 - maybe not a brand new one, but pick up some 64MB Mac ATI affair and I bet you'd be better off...

  • Why I can't install Flash Builder 4.6 with a Master Collection Serial Number?

    Hi all,
    downloaded Flash builder 4.6, i had a Master collection 5.5 suite which includes (obviously) Flash Builder 4.5,1.
    I found that I can’t install the 4.6 version with the serial number of the Master Collection.
    The Adobe support told me thet I can’t install the single packet but I can upgrade the entire suite of (probably) six months when the 6.0 version will becomes available.
    I feel cheated.
    I spent a lot of money to buy and upgrade the entire suite and now I can’t upgrade Flash Builder only.
    Can you help me?
    If there is not a solution I think I'll nerver upgrade the suite anymore, I'will port all of my mobile code in Objective-C and "tanti saluti".

    Deeptika's answer is very helpful.
    Now, this is how I activated the FB 4.6, using theMaster Collection CS 5.5 serial number:
    1.- Uninstalled Flash Builder 4.5 from the MC (Select the 'Delete preferencies'- checkbox).
    2.- Deleted and cleaned all program's cache with CCleaner.
    3.- Installed Flash Builder 4.6 in TRIAL MODE, and -IMPORTANT!- Be sure that you are selecting the SAME LANGUAGE on wich you installed your Master Collection!!
        (I had some troubles because I didn't remember that I installed the MC with "Español", and I tried to install FB 4.6 in "Español (Latinoamerica)").
    4.- After a reboot of my PC, I opened Flash Builder 4.6.
    5.- It asked me for a serial number, I had to wrote down my Master Collection's serial number.
    6.- I was happy because my FB 4.6 serial number was accepted, (after three unsuccesful attempts because of the wrong language installation).
    So, everything is about languages.
    In the last case, maybe you should uninstall your entire Master Collection (including Flash Builder 4.5) and then reinstall it (without FB 4.5). Then install FB 4.6.
    Yep, this is a little annoying, but now I can use the Flash Builder 4.6. It worth the work.
    Let us now if you could install your FB 4.6 succesfuly.
    Regards!

  • Unable to install flash player after uninstalling previous version

    I am unable to download/install flash player and I had already uninstalled the previous version.  I had been playing farmville and my aol emails just fine and they both stopped working and I was told to try "updating" my flash player.  Well, I must have done something wrong because it uninstalled ok but now when I download it again, I get "did not pass the integrity check (1629.304.428)"  I also tried to reset IE 8 with no help.  This all worked until about 4 days ago and I don't remember updating anything within the last week so I am not sure what I did wrong.  Any help would be appreciated.  Thank you.
    My OS is Windows Vista 64 bit, web browser is IE8, 32 bit, and I don't have a flash player version according to the link that was provided to check, it keeps giving me the link for the general page with no version numbers.  Thanks!
    Michelle

    Download the executable installer(s) from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html
    Make sure all browser windows are closed when you run the installer(s).

  • I cannot install flash builder 4.6.  Installation hangs while unpacking files

    Below is the information from the event viewer.  I am using Windows XP SP3.  I don't know, but I wonder if it has something to do with our roaming profiles.  The place it seems to be trying to unpack to is \\EssexHQVM\Desktops$\user.name\Desktop\Adobe Flash Builder 4.6 Installer, which has a special character in it.  I can't find any way to have the file unpack to another location, it doesn't prompt for a location.

    So, the best solution that I have come up with, which is a poor solution, is to run the .exe file on a machine that is not connected to our network and wait for the files to unpack.  Then copy the files to a thumb drive and move them to the computer that I work from.  I can then install Flash builder with no problem. 
    This is a kludgy work around that ought not be.  How hard is it to have the unpacking routine prompt for a location?  That would allow me to give it a location to unpack that would not cause a hang up.  Or, failing that, why not unpack in the same location as the file that is doing the unpacking?  Then I could simply place the file in a good location and let it run.

    Hi,
    Try running the CS5 Clean Tool before installing:

    For good measure, reboot after running the clean tool, and then see if you can install successfully.

    Now managed to get Flash Builder installed. Turns out it was my computer user name that caused the problem. I had a special character in my name ( the special character was ' ). I set up another user account without any special characters and installed Flash Builder using that user account and it installed without any problems.Hope this info helps.

  • ***URGENT*** - Problem Installing Flash Builder 4 beta

    Hi folks,
    I'm really having a trouble with Installing FLASH BUILDER 4 beta on my WinXP SP2, 1.5 Ghz processor, 256 Mb RAM, 1.12 GB free on C drive, 1.26 GB free on H:drive, and 1 GB free on D drive.
    But still i'm getting this prompt by Installer files I dowloaded from Adobe Labs for Flash Builder 4 beta.
    Do i need more Hard Drive space ?
    I have attached the jpeg image of the prompt.
    Please Help me with this. I have a client with a project to build on Flash Builder 4 beta & only got 3 days to deliver.
    thanks in advance.
    regards
    Ronny Depp

    Firstly, are you serious ?
    virtually no hard disk space(the install files need to extract with enough space to actually then install the software)
    virtually no ram  256mb is barely enough for windows XP to start up. How are you going to run Flashbuilder
    1.5ghz cpu - hmmm I don't think flashbuilder will run on a pda....
    delivering a project in 3 days with beta software that you are obviously unfamiliar with...sounds almost like a mastercard ad
    $100 for a cpu, $100 for some ram, $100 for some hard disk, look on the clients face when he saw the result- priceless...
    hate to take the mickey, but I couldnt let something like this slide by it was just to easy

  • I can't install Flash Builder from the Web Premium suite, what should I do?

    I just downloaded the Adobe Creative suite 5.5 Web Premium and am about to install the program but notice a note next to the Adobe Flash Builder program... it explains that my system doesn't have the requirements needed for this program. I checked and it explains further details stating that I need to have a • Mac OS X v10.5.6–10.6 and I doubled check which version I have and it's OS X 10.5.8. Doesn't this actually mean that it does meet the requirements?
    Please advise as to what can be done to be able to download this specific program.
    Thanks,
