The trial download link is totally broken. Does anyone at Adobe know or care?

Anit: following your instructions to the letter in a new browser (Firefox

instead of Google Chrome)

In Firefox, after going to the first URl I am actually prompted for my

Adobe credentials (this does not a actually ever happen in Chrome.) I log

in successfully. Then as per your instructions I paste the second url into

the browser url and hit enter. Result:

Access Denied You don't have permission to access "

http://trials3.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/CB/3/win32/ColdFusionBuilder_3_WWEJ_win.exe"

on this server.

Insanity can be defined as executing the same actions but expecting a

different result.

BTW, Chrome is blocking content on that first page because it believes that

it contains content from an insecure source:

Issue Websites that ask for sensitive information, such as usernames and

passwords, often use secure connections to transmit content to and from the

computer you're using. If you're visiting a site via a secure connection,

Google Chrome will verify that the content on the webpage has been

transmitted safely. If it detects certain types of content on the page

coming from insecure channels, it can automatically prevent the content

from loading and you'll see a shield icon Insecure content shield icon

appearing in the address bar. By blocking the content and possible security

gaps, Chrome protects your information on the page from falling into the

wrong hands.


Hi Paul,

Apologies for the inconvenience caused. Please check the PM sent to you for download links.

Hi Paul,

You can use this link https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=coldfusion_builder&loc=en_us to download CFB3.

Hope it helps.

Anit Kumar

Thanks, Anit, but no you cannot use that link to download. If you succeed

in filling out the form (chrome repeatedly says the page has died and tries

to kill it) you get a broken Akamai download manager popup that does

nothing. The box contains some odd looking parentheses () ( ) and a submit

button that does nothing, so presumably its a scripting problem on their

end. It points to the url:

https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/bundle.cfm?loc=en_us&product=coldfusion_builder_EN_US&urls=http://trials3.adobe.com/AdobeProducts/CB/3/win32/ColdFusionBuilder_3_WWEJ_win.exe&language=en&index=0&name=Adobe%20ColdFusion%20Builder%203%20English%20Windows&prompt=prompt&prdLabel=Adobe%20ColdFusion%20Builder%203&optvalue=undefined&upsell=undefined

Hope this helps,

Paul

HI,

Could I also be sent the instruction on where to locate the installer for CF Builder 3.1

Or, can I please have keys for Builder 2016.

I only made the puchase in the last few months ( now 2018 ).


Scott, are you saying you bought CFBuilder 3.1 in recent months? From Adobe? I would think not, as I don't believe you can buy CFBuilder 3 but instead must buy 2016. This is the same as CF, where Adobe no longer sells CF11 (since CF2016 came out in early 2016), and they don't offer a download for it.

The mention above from Anit of a link for where to download it (CFB 11) was from 2015, before CFB and CF 2016 came out. So I think you'll find that you cannot download CFBuilder 3 or 3.1 from Adobe.

I see you asking for a CFB 2016 license key, for your CFB that you bought in recent months (I assume from a 3rd party), well sadly that's not how it works. :-) This is just like how someone with CF11 cannot just ask for a CF2016 license. There is an upgrade price.

As for CFBuilder, there is indeed an upgrade price available from CFB3. If you visit the CFB page (https://www.adobe.com/products/coldfusion-builder.html​), and click the "buy now" link in the top right, on the next page shown you can change the dropdown from "full license" to "upgrade", changing the price from $299 to $49 US.

You could be offered a link to download CFB2016 then, or you can also download the trial on the page listed above. (It would install alongside CFB2016, it is not an "upgrade" to it. That's how it always works, for CFB as well as CF.)

Hope that gets you sorted.
