Adobe recently declared the Adobe LiveCycle ES Developer Express as ready for use for members of the Adobe Enterprise Developer Program. Web developers can test and develop their Adobe LiveCycle ES applications in a cloud-based environment. The Adobe LiveCycle ES has been pre-configured, so subscribers of the AEDP have no need to do that themselves. It uses Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (AEC2) and Amazon Simple Storage Service (Amazon S3). Developers can utilize enterprise-scale environments.

As a server solution, Adobe LiveCycle ES provides data storage, security and application management. This is very helpful for various individuals and companies alike. The time needed to download, install and use instances are reduced significantly. It also makes use of Adobe PDF (Portable Document Format), Adobe Reader and even Flash. Documents and files can be viewed quickly and easily.
Some of the LiveCycle ES server applications included in the installation are LiveCycle Reader Extension ES, LiveCycle Rights Management ES, LiveCycle Forms ES and LiveCyclePDF Generator ES. These are just some of the server applications pre-installed.
Using Adobe Web Services enhances LiveCycle ES applications. This is good news for the subscribers of AEDP: having a faster, easier and more reliable platform for their web applications.
