About License

Is the license in the form of a document after I make the payment?
How should I register and use the file after receiving it? Is there a detailed explanation? Is it possible to directly overwrite the SDK to remove the running logo and release Linux programs?
thanks.

Yes essentially it's a file with an ID and a license key. Once you drop this into the right location on your machine (~/.airsdk/adt.lic) it would allow your Linux SDK to start working properly and removing the splash screen etc.

If it's an application that's intended to become the user interface of the computer itself then likely yes, there's a redistribution agreement that we have with different terms from Adobe. I think the main consideration though is about the installation of it: if you provide an application that the end user installs, then you can use the AIR SDK license agreement; if it's intended to be distributed already integrated together with a device then we have the separate "Integrated Product" license agreement...

So for example, we have a number of Automotive vendors who use AIR as the mechanism to display the user interface for infotainments systems on Windows/Linux/QNX, and those require separate licenses. Plus some devices that have touch-enabled displays such as smart ovens, supermarket scales, printers, gaming consoles etc - those would be considered for the other license agreement which is a royalty-based one (we have to report numbers to Adobe and pay them based on the number of units shipped).

If you check the AIR SDK license agreement and don't think it would cover you, please contact me directly.

It was my expression error. In fact, what I want to implement is a small program similar to a video player. After AIR is generated, it is copied to the computer and can be set by the user to boot up.
I see that one way to boot Linux is through a desktop file. I'm not sure if AIR can automatically generate this file or if there are other ways to add it to the boot process.

Ah - if you mean, you want your AIR application to boot up automatically when the user logs in to Linux, then this should be supported:

When I check NativeApplication::startAtLogin last time it didn't work #861. Is it was fixed?

[ajwfrost]

Ah - okay so looking at the comments there, it requires the application to be "properly" installed on a platform - looks like it was dependent upon the certificate/verification process. Which should now be implemented properly, at least on macOS and Windows. We will have to check this on Linux (and will double-check the other OS too..)

thanks
