Install your software 

Before you install, quit all browsers and close all applications currently running on your system—including other Adobe applications, chat applications and Microsoft Office applications.  It is also recommended to temporarily turn off virus protection during the installation process.  

You must have administrative privileges or be able to validate as an administrator.

Do one of the following: 

Install Flash Builder 4.6 on Windows:

  1. 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.
  2. Prior to installing, uninstall any prerelease versions of Flash Builder 4.6 or Flash Builder 4.5/4.5.1 or Flash Builder for PHP 4.5/4.5.1.

  6. 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.  You can also install the software in trial, then input your new and previous serial numbers in the serialization screen shown during launch.

Uninstall your software

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. 

Trial software 

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 4.6 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 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.
