Digital training manual containing 5 lessons on Adobe LiveCycle ES4 including associated training files. A LiveCycle application is a solution that consists of associated assets, such as form designs, images, data schemas, SWF files, and processes. When the application is deployed on a LiveCycle server, it can be invoked as a service. A LiveCycle server is the server where LiveCycle is installed. Before attempting to upgrade your LiveCycle Workflow 7.x environment to LiveCycle ES, you need to contact Adobe Enterprise Solutions Customer Service for assistance. Several issues that exist in LiveCycle ES version 8.0.1 prevent upgrading from LiveCycle Workfow 7.x from being successful.
