Hi Frank
Adobe typically doesn’t discuss products prior to announcement, with the exception of labs.adobe.com previews. I’m surprised by your comments about Office Depot, but I’m sure you’ll find plenty of other resellers happy to sell you a copy!

I tried to buy Adobe Acrobat 9 at Office depot and was told they were pulling the remaining stock off the shelf. This is usually a sign that the next version is coming out. Do you know when Adobe 10 is coming out?

thanks

Hi Mark,

I was just trying to write one of these and struggling with lots of weird 3rd party jar files needed by java-twitter. Then I thought, “hang on.. I wonder if anyone out there has already done this?” … very nice job

By the way we’ve got a cool custom component development perspective for Eclipse in the works which makes this sort of thing even easier to build and integrate..

Gary.

Comment on Adobe LiveCycle ES2 trial now available – How to get started. by Mark Szulc

Hi Matt

I think you may be referring to the LiveCycle Data Services ES2 component which is just one of 15 available LiveCycle modules. If this is the case its probably worth pointing out that while you are correct that the LiveCycle Data Services ES2 Enterprise Edition has a list price of $30,000 (and who pays list price these days?) this price includes 5 copies of Flex Builder Pro and the productivity & business benefits far outway the cost. I’m not sure what you pay (or charge) for development services, but the cost saving in development time alone by using LiveCycle Data Services often justifies the licence costs. Data Services customers also see a reduction in cpu requirements and network bandwidth.

For smaller projects Adobe also has made a cut down feature set available for free as the open source Blaze DS. Finally if you have a collaboration project in mind, check out LiveCycle Collaboration Services, a hosted service that allows you to get started without deploying any infrastructure, and you only pay if your load goes over a certain threshold.

If you are referring to LiveCycle ES in general, then you can get a whole lot of value for far less that $30k, and many many customers have been able to meet their business requirements with small cost effective deployments

I think there have been better times… There used to be a no-charge single CPU license, and a 100 user license which no longer exist. Now the published entry-level list price for LiveCycle ES2 is $30,000. This is the kind of pricing found years ago for Macromedia Flex 1.0 and 1.5. Do you have many clients who can pony up that kind of money, for one component in the stack?
