Hi Mcris, for alpha 5 you need Eclipse version 3.3.x (http://labs.adobe.com/downloads/flexbuilder_linux.html), if you use a higher version you will get the ‘Assertion failed’ error.

Try this Eclipse version: http://archive.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.3.2-200802211800/download.php?dropFile=eclipse-SDK-3.3.2-linux-gtk.tar.gz

If the number is invalid then probably it won’t let you use it.

You could try to set flexbuilder3.displayedFirstLaunchMessage=false in ‘license.properties’ in ‘home/username/.adobe/Flex’.
Start Flex Builder and choose Trial… or enter a valid number

i have installed the flex trial, now i got the serial number

but after i try to register it, the screen tells me that the number is invalid and then close the window

but the code editor does not show the code and in the lef bottom corner of eclipse the “Flex Builder Linux has expired” message still appears
