FlashBuilder 4 is included in CS5 Web Premium. Not sure about the Master, but I think my upgrade from CS4 to CS5 was $599, I think. I'm not sure what it would be for the Master suite. What you get is FlashBuilder 4 Standard. If you've been using the trial download, the CS5 serial number won't register it, because you've probably been using FB4 Premium. FB4 Premium is nice--it has some profiling and charting tools--but it's expensive (maybe less so if you have the master suite). I'm using FB4 Standard, and it has everything I need--code hinting, a really robust debugger, including easy ways to set watches and conditional break points, and day-to-day tools. There's a comparison here <http://www.adobe.com/products/flex/upgrade/>. Oddly, I can't find a way to buy FlashBuilder 4 standard, except in the CS suite. Flex itself is, of course, free. You can install it, and use any IDE you want, like FlashDevelop (I think). I really like the FB4 interface, though.
