The price change for Flex 2 is NOW ACTIVE at Adobe.com! There was a delay in getting this active on the store at Adobe.com on November 1 and the pricing is now active as follows:
$249 US - PURCHASE Flex Builder 2
$699 US - PURCHASE Flex Builder 2 with Charting
Sorry for the delay.
Cheers,

Would it be possible to increase the font size a bit more, I can hardly see the text. What was that? New prices for Flex Builder?
You mentioned before that if we already have flex builder 2 w/ charting that we could pay $299 and get the maintenance to be eligible for the no cost update to flex 3 professional. How do I do that and where do I go?
no ted, the price is 318.21 according to xe.com... now, if u want to evangalize tell me why the f**k i should pay more just because i live in europe. until you answer that, ted, let me suggest that you f**k right off
Ted and/or Enterprise Programmers in general,
Besides taking traditional college classes for a CS degree, what goood text or curriculum would you recommend for learning classical programming methods/skills? What language do you think lends itself to good programming habbits?
P.S. Why isn't the Adobe "Authorized" Training for Flex RIA available for retail purchase? Is Adobe locking it in to ONLY those institutions that have PAID their dues? Why not open it to the retail market?
Thanks in advance for your attention.

I don't see where in the Adobe store we can purchase the $99 maintenance for Flex Builder 2 standard to make us eligble for the Flex Builder 3 upgrade...
Just crank out the bucks...stop flapping your fingers and slap down some cash...

Hmmmm....Still not quite right.
Australia:
Flex 2:
Ship box: A$345
Download: A$759
Flex2 with Charting:
ship box: A$969
download: A$1145
Is it some kind of a TNT/UPS lobby? :)
PS As usual the conversion rate is ridiculous - currently Aussie buck is 0.9164 of USD
USD$249 vs A$345
USD$699 vs A$969
Adobe still has a conversion rate ~0.72 which was 2 in place years ago.
Strange way of earning income.
Details on the support/upgrade licensing for Flex 3 are coming. The key is that the lower Flex Builder licensing is in place and active.

As for software/currency pricing, this is a nasty problem. Software companies must lock down a price for software against constantly fluctuating currencies world-wide at prices that will be acceptable long term (2-3 years). Additionally business costs in certain markets are wildly different, sometimes as much as 5X per employee (India/Romainia/US/Japan).
I wish Adobe could keep the software pricing level globally but this assumes currency levels, local costs, employee costs, and taxation globally would stay constant ignoring inflation/deflation effects. It is a hard problem that no software company has yet solved. The current preferred solution is to disproportionately price software globally vs keeping software prices in a constant state of fluctuation globally.
From the consumer point of view the problem sucks, what else can I say.
my humble 2 cents!
Ted :)
Thanks for the info Ted!
And regarding FDT... Hm. More money than FB2 or 3 and no MXML support? Granted there are a few features in it that I've been begging for (code formatting, code gen for getters/setters) but I don't know if that warrants a $100 increase...

Ted,
I would rather like to be able to purchase any (US English language) Adobe Software as a download package online for the US$ price with support from the US office.
It's beyond my understanding why I am not allowed to do so and am forced to buy a much more expensive package (upgrading to CS3 felt like a ripp-off) for 'extra's' I don't need or even want.
You wrote: "Software companies must lock down a price for software against constantly fluctuating currencies world-wide at prices that will be acceptable long term (2-3 years)."
An idea would be that Adobe sells all their software packages (through an international portal?) at a fixed US$ price and add a live currency convertion that will show the (approx) price in the customers local currency.
Besides that I don't get why the non US$ prices needs to be fixed?
There are so many products on e.g. the Dutch market that constantly go up or down because of change in the US$ currency. Why wouldn't this be okay for software packages too?
Thanks, for this information and news it was very useful to me
Congrulations for this nice web design..Usefull..
