FAQ

Is there an on-premise server I can install for Cocomo?
At this time, Cocomo is a hosted service only.
What are the limits to usage on the beta?
For the public beta, usage of an account has the following quotas:

  • 25 concurrent users
  • 15,000 cumulative user minutes per month
  • 250,000 messages published per month
  • 3 GB bandwidth (in + out) per month
What if these beta quotas are too restrictive for my use case?
We’re still in the process of trying to figure out what beta quotas make the most sense – if you have a strong opinion on this, we’d love to hear it. Please email us at cocomo@adobe.com to tell us more about what you’re trying to do.
How do I give feedback or ask questions?
The Cocomo forum is monitored by the Cocomo team and is the best way to ask questions or get help.
Where do I report bugs?
Bug reports can also be filed in the Cocomo forum.
Is screen sharing supported?
At this time, screen sharing requires an “add-in” player. We appreciate that developers would like to have access to this “add-in”, but security constraints prevent us from releasing it.
When are you releasing the final version of Cocomo?
Cocomo is currently in public beta. We intend on using this time to continue work on the service, as well as to gain a realistic sense of how developers will use it. We have no date we can communicate publicly at this time.

System Requirements

Cocomo is intended for use with the Flex SDK version 3.0.0 and above, running in Flash Player versions 9 or 10, as well as all AIR runtime versions. Flash Player 10 is required for Linux users. An Internet connection is required to contact the Cocomo service – developers who want to develop without Internet connections can do so using LocalConnectionServer.air.

See the Cocomo Developer Guide for more details
