#Zargon #flex and #adobe air licencing system

gwinnem — Thu, 06 May 2010 13:57:27 +0000

Zarqon is a cloud-based system that makes it easy for developers to issue and enforce licenses for Adobe AIR- and Adobe Flex-based applications.

Developers have complete ownership of their license holder data and sell their applications anywhere and anyhow they like.

Their data never passes through Futurescale’s servers, and they pay Futurescale no royalties, percentages or fees on the licenses they sell.

Zarqon

• Empowers developers to create side revenues by giving them an inexpensive and reliable method of controlling access to their desktop or web applications.

• Assures secure and reliable storage on Amazon’s Simple Storage Service (S3), which is backed by a Service Level Agreement, and offers inexpensive storage and transfer costs with no server software to install or manage.

• Decouples license management from code protection – a plus for developers, leaving them free to avail themselves of the best code protection solutions as continual advances in that field are made.

The general public will be given access to Zarqon May 03, 2010.

Imagine modular Flex and AIR development with no messy plumbing, and you don’t have to write the desktop or web container.

The Flex Logging Framework is easy to learn and flexible to use.

It supports many different scenarios, from helping developers to debug their code, to sending the details of production application errors over the wire to a remote server for monitoring.

To learn the basics of the Logging Framework refer to the latest Flex Developer Guide and the Flex Logging Framework chapter of Professional Flex 3.

Adobe eLearning training

Many of you have approached me regarding Adobe eLearning Suite training.

The need for good training and possibly a certification that adequately covers the suite specific workflows and shared tools (like the SCORM packager, LMS adapter,

Flash learning interactions, etc.) continues to be the single biggest request I hear from the eLS user base.

If you have had an opportunity to look at the Adobe Flash Collaboration Service (AFCS) you could see that there is a huge opportunity to do interesting multi-user applications without needing to write all of the server side code.
