Flex Builder 3 on Vista: Trial Expired Solved

Flex Add comments

There seem to be some problems with the Flex 3 licenses. Matt Chotin posted some info here and here.

However if you are installing the trial version, the info provided about removing the license.properties file on Windows is not correct if you’re on Vista.

The correct path is C:\Users\[USERNAME]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\ProgramData\
Adobe\Flex\license.properties

After you removed this file, restart Eclipse and you’ll be prompted with the license window that states you can continue the 60 day trial.

Have fun!

    That directory is not on my vista machine after installing Flex 3 plugin. The closest I get to this is C:\Users\[user]\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\ProgramData\Adobe\ALM
    Any Ideas?
