[Flash Builder] Mystery email from Adobe Licensing
This morning I received an email from Adobe titled "Your Adobe licensing
order has been processed".
As I hadn't knowingly ordered anything, I investigated further. It appears
that they've issued new serial numbers for registered users of Flash
Builder 4.x to work with the new release of Flash Builder 4.7
There was no mention of which product was purchased, so it was a bit of a
process to figure out what had happened.
Regards,
Kevo

Hi Kevo,
I don't see anything wrong with your posting as you clearly marked the
thread as having to do with Flash Builder. Jeffry's comments, as he stated,
were just a tad bit anal retentive as you aren't posting questions to Adobe
on Apache Flex's mailing list but instead simply sharing some info with the
rest of the group. I think the tone could have been friendlier, we don't
want to shoo community members away from participating, but he isn't wrong.
To Jeffrey's point though, we try to keep the contents of this mailing list
to be about the development of the Flex SDK itself. If your intention is to
actually reach users of the Apache Flex SDK the more relevant list would be
flex-users@ instead.
I hope you don't let this thread deter you from future participation. This
group is for all Flex developers! :)

Still, those using Flash Builder 4.7 would have found that they required a
new serial number to continue using it.
I thought I might share my findings with others who might have been
affected in the same way. I'm sorry if I ruffled your feathers or broke
etiquette by posting something off topic, but helpful to this mailing list.
It was my first post to the group, and most likely my last.

Jeffry, this is mostly true, but isn't completely true. Apache Flex 4.8
uses SWFObject's expressinstall.swf for player version detection instead of
the Adobe proprietary playerProductInstall.swf. Flash Builder 4.6 only
knows how to copy the playerProductInstall.swf to the output folder, so if
you build out an app with Flash Builder 4.6, the player version detection
won't work. This is handled correctly by Flash Builder 4.7.

You are misinformed:
If you want to develop applications with Apache Flex 4.8, you can use
Flash Builder 4.6 just fine. You can use IntelliJ. You can use command
line tools. I assume FDT would also support it--but have not tried that
myself.
If you want to work on the Flex SDK; any of the above options will
also work.
If you have questions about Flash Builder, this may be the place to
ask them: http://forums.adobe.com/community/flash_builder or possibly

As far as I know, you need Flash Builder 4.7 to work with Apache Flex.
I also demarked the title with [Flash Builder] to give a clue as to the
contents.

Not to be anal retentive; but what does this have to do with Apache Flex?

I found a URL you can use to request an update from 4.5 or 4.6

I have purchased all my Adobe software licenses from the Business Store:
http://volumelicensing.adobe.com/
And I end up retrieving my serial numbers from this URL
https://licensing.adobe.com/
Perhaps they have a different process for updating customers who purchased
via other methods.
