Development edition invalid licence

I am having problems getting the development edition of coldfusion to work. I had installed the trial edition some time ago on our test server which had reverted to the developer edition after 30 days. This was fine, but I wanted to re-install coldfusion as the enterprise edition.

I have now installed coldfusion 3 times as the developer edition on this machine and each time, though the install is succesfull I get an error message saying "Your server key is invalid".

How can I get the developer edition to work on this machine?

Thanks

    If you un-install coldfusion from the machine and delete the coldfusion8 directory, coldfusion should have no indicator of a previous installation. You should then be able to install coldfusion without using any license as trial or as developer. Choose developer and install. You can then add any valid license key you have.

    The only exception to this is you cannot install an 'invalid' configuration. The only one that comes to mind is coldfusion 8 standard only installs as a 32 bit installation. If you install CF8 64 bit trial, you cannot then enter a standard license. You must install the 32 bit trial in this case. There may be other similar scenarios (but I cannot think of any now.)
