Credit to Adobe
While it may be true that Adobe charge $699 for Flash CS4 Professional in the US or worse still, $840 if you live in the UK, we must give kudos to Adobe for the following generous offer they are currently running.
Any software developer who has been hit hard by the current international economy crisis to the extent that they have lost their job and are currently unemployed, are eligible to receive Adobe Flex Builder 3 Professional (retail value $699) for absolutely nothing. That’s right. It’s completely free.
So if you are presently unemployed and agree to use the software only for personal, non-commercial purposes, apply to download Adobe Flex Builder 3 Professional, for free, right now. What you do with your software license once you’ve created your killer Flex app that lands you a new job, we’re not exactly sure, so grab it while you can.

Yes because being unemployed the one thing you want it free software you can`t use to earn money.
Adobe has a great heart, thanks for the post
Yeah Lee mentioned this earlier in the week. Ive already got a free copy being a student
:P
You can still use it for portfolio Chuck, could bring in potential work…
Does this news warrant a Flex tutorial for flashtuts? Assuming we can write Flex tutorials…
that’s so generous of Adobe, this mission would only get accomplished if those unemployed people use this download link not everyone.
thanks
