Upgrading to Flexbuilder 3.0.1 (or where are my charts?)

Today we upgraded our Flexbuilders to the newest version, the update didn’t come with the built in auto update of Flexbuilder, so I had to de- and reinstall it. Done that, opened one of my projects, continued working and realised that I couldn’t dig into the charting sources anymore (F3):

After quite a search and a clean install on a new PC, Jens noticed a small message in the status bar of the builder after entering the serial number: “Extracting chart sources”. The rest was easy:

  1. Quit Flexbuilder or Eclipse
  2. Delete your serial information (Look for a file called ‘license.properties’ in the Flex installation directory (C:\ProgramData\Adobe\Flex\license.properties on Vista, /Library/Application\ Support/Adobe/Flex/license.properties on OSX))
  3. Launch Flexbuilder, re-enter your serial
  4. Done, the chart sources are available again.

Maybe this becomes useful for some of you …

    On Mac this will not d the job. The serial seems to be stored in another place too. I deleted the whole Flex Builder installation and after a reinstall the serial number is still there.

    Any suggestions ?

    Just look for the license.properties file and delete it. This should do it.

    How time flies! Now back for the next update and… It worked for latest Flex SDK 3.3.0 as always – cool :-)
