Automation libraries do not work with upgrade license

[dguebel]

Hi there,

Since we upgraded from Flex 3 to 4 (purchsing an upgrade premium license), when running the automation test it started to trigger a popup saying: "License not presetn.With the trial verison only limited replays are allowed.". I have tried compiling the project using Flex 4 SDK with either license number and still get the popup when running the test.

How do I get this to work? from the look of it, the compiler argument -license only supports one license number at the time.

Should this work?

-license=flexbuilder4,[license number]

Cheers,

Diego

Hi Diego,

http://raniskumar.wordpress.com/2009/07/28/flex-builder-license-and-automation-flex-3/

The above blog post outlines various approaches to add license for Flex builder 3. To use Flash Builder 4 license, one should change flexbuilder3 keyword to flashbuilder4. Hope that helps.

Thanks,

Deeptika

Thanks Deeptika for your reply, but it doesn't seem to work.

I'm using the following macro to compile:

<macrodef name="compile.flex">

<attribute name="flexHome" default="${flex.home}"/>

<attribute name="backgroundColor" default="#FFFFFF"/>

<attribute name="incremental" default="true"/>

<attribute name="optimize" default="true"/>

<attribute name="strict" default="true"/>

<attribute name="targetPlayer"/>

<attribute name="useNetwork" default="true"/>

<attribute name="in"/>

<attribute name="out"/>

<attribute name="failonerror" default="true"/>

        <attribute name="static-link-runtime-shared-libraries" default="false"/>

        <attribute name="flex-licence" default="${flex.licence}"/>

    <attribute name="additional" default=""/>

<sequential>

            <property name="rsl.dir" value="@{flexHome}/frameworks/libs"/>

<java jar="@{flexHome}/lib/mxmlc.jar" fork="true" maxmemory="512m" failonerror="@{failonerror}" resultproperty="buildResultProperty">

<jvmarg line="-Xms32m -Xmx768m -Dsun.io.useCanonCaches=false"/>

<!-- Add metadata -->

<arg value="-title=${title}"/>

<arg value="-publisher=${publisher}"/>

<arg value="-creator=${creator}"/>

<arg value="-language=${language}"/>

<!-- Compiler arguments -->

                <arg value="-licenses.license flexbuilder4 @{flex-licence}"/>

<arg value="+flexlib=@{flexHome}/frameworks"/>

                <arg value="-source-path=@{flexHome}/frameworks/libs"/>

<arg value="-static-link-runtime-shared-libraries=@{static-link-runtime-shared-libraries}"/>

<arg value="-library-path+=${basedir}/libs"/>

<arg value="-default-background-color=@{backgroundColor}"/>

<arg value="-theme=@{flexHome}/frameworks/themes/Halo/halo.swc"/>

<arg value="-incremental=@{incremental}"/>

<arg value="-optimize=@{optimize}"/>

<arg value="-strict=@{strict}"/>

<arg value="-use-network=@{useNetwork}"/>

<arg value="-target-player=@{targetPlayer}"/>

<arg value="-output=@{out}"/>

<arg line="@{additional}"/>

<arg value="@{in}"/>

</java>

</sequential>

</macrodef>

This is the error I get:

Thanks for your help

Hi,

<arg value="-licenses.license flexbuilder4 @{flex-licence}"/>

In this line, flexbuilder4 should be flashbuilder4. Please try this and let me know your findings.

Thanks,

[java] command line: Error: unknown configuration variable 'licenses.license flashbuilder4 xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx'

Hi Diego,

Was the same macro working earlier with Flex 3 SDK?

Thanks,

yes it was and I've never seen that popup before.
