Before you begin installing, do the following:
Log in as the Windows Administrator or as a computer administrator (a user account with administrator privileges).
Note:
If you attempt to install without administrator privileges, the installation will complete with flagged issues. However, you will have installed an incomplete version of Flash Builder that you will not be able to run.
Run the installer FlashBuilder*.exe file which will self-extract. Follow the onscreen instructions to complete the installation.
Note:
The installer will self-extract to a folder named ‘Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 Installer’ on your computer's desktop. If the installer does not auto-run, open the folder, navigate to the 'Adobe Flash Builder 4.7' folder, double-click the Set-up.exe file and follow the onscreen instructions.
Note:
For Windows 64-bit, your copy of Eclipse must be version 3.7 or 4.2 in 64-bit and must contain a folder named “dropins”. For Windows 32-bit, your copy of Eclipse must be version 3.7 or 4.2 in 32-bit and must contain a folder named “dropins”.

Before you uninstall, close all applications currently running on your system—including other Adobe applications, Microsoft Office applications, and browser windows
Note: If you want to install the product on a different computer, you must first deactivate the software on your computer. To deactivate, choose Help > Deactivate Flash Builder.
Entering a serial number
Enter the serial number for the software you purchased in the serialization screen. The serialization screen will load the first time you launch the application (if using the Adobe Flash Builder 4.7 Eclipse Plugin, it may take more than one launch for the serialization screen to appear).
If you are installing as an upgrade, the installer will check your system to find the valid upgrade product. If it cannot find it, it will ask you to input the serial number of the product being upgraded.
Only applications running as a trial will recognize the new serial number. If any of the applications have already been serialized with a different serial number, it will continue to use that serial number until you remove the older serial number using the Help > Deactivate Flash Builder. Then on the next launch of the application, it will validate Adobe ID and further launch will recognize the new serial number.
Volume licensing
Volume licensing customers cannot purchase from a trial directly. Please contact your reseller or authorized Adobe licensing center to place an order for a volume license. To find a reseller in your area, go to http://partners.adobe.com/resellerfinder/na/reseller.jsp.
You must accept the license agreement and warranty terms to use this product. See www.adobe.com/go/eulas for details.
