ColdFusion 2025 Standard Edition license

Hi all,

 

I've just purchased a ColdFusion 2025 Standard Edition license, and activated my trial version. From my understanding, it should be valid for one year. However, in the ColdFusion admin panel, the license is showing as valid only until October 20, 2025 which is just three months from now (see screenshot below).

 

Does anyone know if this is a standard issue, or if there might be a problem with the license activation? I've written to Adobe but I'm not sure when I'll get their reply.

 

Any insights would be greatly appreciated!

 

Thanks in advance.

Simon

    Was there any update to this issue. I am receiving a exipiration date(Jan 14 2026) that is only 3 months from activation date (Oct 2 2025) and according to my marketplace reseller it should be valid to around July 20 2026.

    As you activated the trial version, it seems like the license's internal date-checker incorrectly picked up the trial-end-date.

    Well, the trial is for 30 days, rather than the 3 months Sile reported, so that doesn't seem to be it.

    I installed the trial version on June 21, 2025.

    Today (July 20), with one day remaining to the expiry of the trial, I activated it.

    And it showed the license validity was till Oct 20, 2025.

     

    Will update here once I hear from Adobe.

    With the subscription licensing having only started with cf2025 (released in Feb), it's hard to imagine anyone but Adobe being able to help here. I suppose others who bought a license can check their admins to see what they report.

     

    What email address did you use to reach out? The one they offer publicly is cfsup@adobe.com. If you learn anything, in hope you'll share that news here for others who may find this post in the future.

    Hi Charlie. Thanks for the reply. I wrote to coldfusionsales@adobe.com. I'll try cfsup too, and if I find out anything, I'll share it here.
