Go to the Aptana Studio download page, click the tab for your Operating System, and fill out and submit the form to receive the License key for your Pro Trial:

Aptana Studio Download page

If you are using the current version of Studio, you do not need to download the application again. You can can click the Cancel button when the download starts, and your Pro license trial key should still be emailed to you.

If you are not using the current version of the Community Edition of Studio, we recommend completing the download, then backing up your workspace and preferences and then uninstalling your old version of Studio and installing the new version.

We've seen this issue periodically with Windows users. If you experience this issue, try the following workaround:

1. Navigate to the folder where you have Aptana Studio installed (usually under C:\ Program Files), and find the jre folder.
2. Re-name the jre folder to jre.old.
3. If you have another instance of the latest JRE installed on your machine, skip to the last step.
4. Download and install a new instance of the JRE from the java web page:

   http://www.java.com/en/download/index.jsp.

5. Start Aptana Studio.

If the above workaround does not fix the problem, please file a support ticket in ASAP.

For some users, an update to Aptana will appears to stop network connections and throws an error about being unable to download a particular .jar file. This is caused by an interaction between Aptana and certain network cards, in particular cards using the the Marvell network chipset. If you experience this issue, there are a number of remedies.

Patching Aptana Studio

The simplest way is to solve the issue is to download a special file and place it in your Aptana folder. This technique requires Aptana Studio 1.1.5 or later. If you have an earlier version, you can manually update to 1.1.5, or uninstall and reinstall.

1. Download the attached file and place in your plugins folder under Aptana Studio/plugins.
2. Restart Aptana Studio.
3. Once Aptana Studio has restarted, open up Preferences > Aptana > Updates
4. Set the values under Network Troubleshooting to "1" and "1000" respectively

Manual Update

You may choose to do a manual update of the existing plugin. Instructions are posted here.

Advanced Option

If you are on Windows XP with a Marvell-based network adapter, you may be able to tweak your network adapter settings:

1. Get to your adapter properties (device manager -> network adaptors -> marvell... > right-click > properties)
2. Go to Advanced & increase Number of Receive & Number of Transmit Buffers (for example from 50 to 200)

To change the Aptana Studio UI to another language:

1. Download and install the i18n plug-in from the Aptana plug-ins page:http://aptana.com/plugins
2. Follow the instructions in the Help topic to change the Aptana Studio interface to another language:http://www.aptana.com/docs/index.php/Changing_the_Aptana_Studio_interface_to_a_different_language

Yes, but we do not include CVS support with the standalone Aptana Studio. You can download and install the CVS plug-in from our plug-ins page to enable CVS support:

While we no longer officially support the old SFTP plug-in that was included in beta versions of Aptana Studio, you can still download and install this plug-in from our plug-ins page:

By default, Eclipse allocates a maximum of 256MB of Java heap memory, which is usually enough for most development tasks. However, depending on the JRE that you are running and if you are working with many additional plug-ins and have many files open, you may need to increase your amount of memory. Use the -vmargs command line argument to increase your heap memory, with the set to a value greater than "256M":

eclipse -vmargs -Xmx

If you're having trouble trying to run /usr/bin/java (this issue has been seen by some uphuck users), make sure that on OSX, /usr/bin/java points to "/System/Library/Frameworks/JavaVM.framework/Versions/CurrentJDK/Commands/java" (with a leading '/'). This should fix the issue so that you can run Aptana.
