Sorry that I’m not being clear. I’m not concerned about what happens after you deploy the SystemId mechanism. Let’s say I’m a brand-new Apache Flex customer. AIUI, the very first time I run a build it will get stuck and when I look at the console, it will say:
The Adobe SDK license agreement applies to the Adobe AIR SDK. Do you want to install the Adobe AIR SDK? Adobe AIR SDK License: http://www.adobe.com/products/air/sdk-eula.html SystemId: JF83EKRL8I3IAHLHEWLDAWH38H Do you accept (Yes/No) (On a headless system or CI server see the documentation on how to auto-accept using a system-property containing your SystemId) ? It just looks like to me I can type “no” there and still use the SystemId in the future builds and thus never accept the terms and conditions.
