About configuration files
The various compilers and servers use the configuration files differently.
Applying license keys
You typically add a license key if you want to unlock the source code for the data visualization packages, or if you
want to remove the watermark from your applications that use the charting and AdvancedDataGrid components.
There are several methods to set the license key for your Flex compiler. You can set your license key in the
following ways:
• Use the license manager in Flex Builder
• Edit the license.properties file
• Edit the flex-config.xml file
• Use the license command line compiler option
• Use the Configuration.setLicense() method (compiler API only)
Use the license manager in Flex Builder
To enter your license key in Flex Builder, select Help > Manage Flex Licenses.
Edit the license.properties file
You can manually add your license key to the license.properties file. You add the license key to the value of the
flexbuilder3 key, as the following example shows:
flexbuilder3=00000000000000000000
