Adobe Flash CS4 Trial Download

Kategoria Flash & Flex, General | 59 comments

I just spent about half an hour trying to download the Adobe Flash CS4 Trial from adobe.com. Obviously downloading a file shouldn’t be big thing but now it turned out to be a bit trickier.

Adobe uses Akamai download manager for some downloads and that’s where my trouble started. Everything goes as it is supposed to until the Akamai download manager popup opens. Then… nothing happens. The download doesn’t start. I tried the download first with FF3, then with IE7 and finally with opera. The result was always the same. The download didn’t start. After a little struggle I noticed that the download managers url included urls to both files needed for the installation:

http://trials.adobe.com/dlm.html?files=http://trials.adobe.com/Applications/FlashPro/CS4/Win/ADBEFLPRCS4Win_LS1.exe|http://trials.adobe.com/Applications/FlashPro/CS4/Win/ADBEFLPRCS4Win_LS1.7z

So obviously that is supposed to tell Akamai download manager which files to download except it doesn’t work :) . Not for me anyway. So if you are experiencing same problems just use the direct download links below.

Direct download link to the .7z file
Direct download link to the .exe file

And here is the download link for Mac (thanks to Ukyo):

GTween beta 5 will be out soon. Can’t wait to get my hands on it. Skinner has been working on this fancy sequensing feature that enables you to “jump to any position in the sequence,  and everything will display properly for that position”.  Go check it out.
