License for Flash Builder
I am using a build server to build Flex swf files. Flex code is created
using SDK 4.13.0. Do I need any Adobe license to successfully generate swf
files?
Thanks

Apache Flex SDKs do not bundle the Adobe SDKs because they are build
pre-requisites, in the same category as Visual Studio or a JDK.
If you used the Installer to get both the Apache Flex SDK and the Adobe
SDKs, then you accepted the Adobe license when you used the Installer. As
long as you are not distributing copies of the Adobe SDKs outside of the
scope of the license, you can copy the Apache SDK and Adobe SDKs from one
computer to another which probably includes your build server, without
further need to accept licenses.
The scope of the license is the scope of authority you have. If you work
for some company, then you are accepting the license on behalf of the
company and can copy the Adobe SDKs from one company computer to another
company computer.
HTH. At least, that's the way I understand it.

If I just copy Apache SDKs to my build server how do I accept these
licenses?

Apache Flex releases use the Adobe Flash SDK (playerglobal.swc) and AIR
SDK to generate SWFs, so you have to accept the licenses for those Adobe
SDKs. That shouldn't have anything to do with Flash Builder unless your
build server is launching Flash Builder to try to execute the build, which
I hope isn't the case.
