Dr Flex & Dr LiveCycle

LiveCycle ES Update 1 was announced on june 16th 2008 and a good tradition at Adobe is to make the software available to end users one month later.  So from today (or was it even earlier?) you can try the software – including all the new integration features with Alfresco – by selecting one of the options listed at www.adobe.com/devnet/livecycle/trial.  You can basically choose to download the multi-gigabyte installers from the website or get a DVD shipped to you for just a few euros.

Together with this release there is also separate trial downloads available for updated releases of LiveCycle Designer ES and LiveCycle Data Services ES 2.6 (for those Flex developers that don’t dare to get their hands dirty on the rest of LiveCycle yet, hehe).

If you are new to LiveCycle I highly recommend the turn key option with the JBoss download, which is ideal for evaluation purposes. This will install the application server, database, and samples with just a few mouse clicks.

For an overview of new features in LiveCycle ES Update 1:

• New LiveCycle Data Services ES 2.6 features

• What’s new in Adobe LiveCycle Designer ES Update 1

• What’s new in LiveCycle ES Update 1

Installing the software is pretty straightforward, especially when you follow the steps listed in How to Get Started and choose the turn key installation. However, if you are having issues or need help evaluating specific parts of the LiveCycle Enterprise Suite, feel free to contact us for questions or even better… make an appointment for a free consult with DrLiveCycle.
