Why is it indicated that you are able to build web and mobile apps with Enterprise?

Maybe because the whole product family is meant, but why on AWS? Didn't get a serial number for Builder!

Because you actually are. Could you let us know any difficulties you are facing?

I would only loosely call Coldfusion and Coldfusion Builder a product family. The Builder is a separate product, an IDE, used for developing Coldfusion applications.

There are differences in the way Adobe markets the two products. If you buy Coldfusion, you will get one or more Builder licenses, depending on Coldfusion version. But not vice versa. It is easy to work out why. Coldfusion costs thousands of dollars, but Builder only costs a few hundred. Another difference is that there are offerings of Coldfusion on the cloud, but not yet of Builder - at least as far as I know.

    Is the development (Coding, etc.) meant with "building" an app?

      Use the Enterprise (Trial) version. It exposes you, as a developer, to all the functionality that the Coldfusion development platform has to offer. After the 30-day trial period it will automatically turn into the Developer version. This version excludes a number of features, but still has the core functionality you need to develop applications.

      So i don't need to develop it locally to deploy it on a server?

      In Adobe Coldfusion AWS (Amazon Web Services) (Enterprise), I would develop it remotely on the server, right?

      You need to develop locally on a development server and deploy separately on a production server. For large enterprise applications, you will need a third server, a test or 'staging' server. For small applications, especially where the budget is limited, you could run the development, test and production environments as 3 separate Coldfusion instances on the same machine. The risks you then take are obvious: mainly from coupling.
