ColdFusion 2021 Deployment Type

Question

Except for uninstalling and reinstalling the software as a whole, is there a way to update the Deployment Type from Development to Production?

ColdFusion 2021 Enterprise was installed initially with the Development Type because the environment where it was being installed was yet to be full Production. We now have licensing acquired and are ready to go full Production with the software, but I am looking for if there is an easier way to update it.

Yes. Edit the licenseinfo.properties file in the lib folder of your CF instance (like cfusion/lib). The values it accepts are Production, Development, Staging, Testing, Disaster recovery. You may need to restart CF for this to take effect.

I REALLY hope someday Adobe will add that as an option within the UI, as it seems almost surely they could/should. (I've never heard anything that did NOT work with this notion of editing the file, though someone may find or report one.)

FWIW, I filed a bug report for it in 2021, which is still tagged as "to fix". I can't see this taking more than a few mins to implement and perhaps an hour/s of testing. 😞
