Eclipse Force IDE Metadata API

Hello Folks,
 
Trying to use Eclipse Force IDE for the first time.   I get by the login/password/security token and then get
 
 
Force.com projects require an organization with the Metadata API enabled.
API is not enabled for this organization or partner.
 
 
Can someone let me know what I can do to enable this?   This is a 30 day trial if that matters.

I recommend signing up for a free Developer Edition account here: http://wiki.apexdevnet.com/events/regular/registration.php?d=701300000009Ur7
And then using those login credentials to setup a Force.com project in the IDE. The Developer Edition orgs will have the metadata api functionality enabled.

Actually, that is what I believe I did.   Could I have disabled the functionality by accident somehow?   Is this an option I can switch or is it set by Salesforce?   If set by Salesforce, is there a way to see if I have the right account type or edition or org type?
 
Thanks again.

Actually I don't see how you helped to answer this question. Have you tried the process yourself as a developer? I have had the same problem. Please do some research before just answering the question. Anybody else who has a workable solution please provide it below. Thank You

I have found the answer. 

 

Please make sure that the account you are using is a developer account.

 

Then make sure to request your token by clicking on 'Reset your security token' under: 

Personal Setup My Personal Information
Reset your security token

Hi,

Salesforce Professional Edition Org types do not allow API access by default (Enterprise and Unlimited Editions do). You can easily determine your edition by logging into Salesforce and hovering over the browser tab. You can contact Salesforce Customer Support to have this feature enabled for an additional fee.

Else yours may be a trial pack create a new org (Developer Edition) with developer.force.com then load into eclipse.

Thanks.
