Hi,

Can we use a developer version purely for development purpose? The code set developed using the developer version will be then moved to the live environment where the Standard edition is installed. Mu question is whether we can use the developer version for coding and for which the code will be deployed in a production server which is having Standard edition COldfusion.

Yes, you can use the developer version of coding to production.

I am confused about the bolded point which is taken from the Adobe license agreement.

(h) You shall not (A) use the Developer Version for any application deployment in a live or stand-by production environment or staging environment, in each case, including, without limitation, in any environment accessed by application end-users including but not limited to servers, workstations, kiosks, and mobile computers , (B) use or deploy the Developer Version other than internally for the sole purpose of designing, developing, and evaluating applications pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this EULA, (C) access the Developer Version from more than a single IP address at any given time, or, only if you are using the Developer Version of Macromedia Flex, from more than five IP addresses at any given time, (D) use the Developer Version to deploy applications that are accessed by end users, or (E) use the Developer Version of Macromedia Flex to compile .swf files for deployment outside of a validly licensed copy of the Macromedia Flex presentation server.

I think the usage of the word "deploy" in the EULA is incorrect. The CF server doesn't deploy code, it serves it. Well certainly int he context they are using the term here.

To be very clear: the licence only applies to how the application server is used, it has no bearing whatsoever on how the source code (which is, after all, yours, not Adobe's) is created.

General practice is to develop & test code using a developer licence, then deploy it to a server with a full licence (be it standard or enterprise).

Make sense?
