Sorry if posting in the wrong forum:

I need to purchase Adobe coldfusion enterprise 8 for use on a production server. Developers will also need this installed on a QA(TEST) server. Question is, can we install one version on both servers or do we need to purchase a license for each? Thanks for any guidance.

For questions like this one, the right answer is always "pick up the phone and give 'em a call." Ask them to follow up with an e-mail. Print it out and keep a paper copy. Now you know, and you've got proof of your "due diligence" that should satisfy any auditor.

My word does not trump what ever an Adobe Representative will tell you when you contact them.

But yes. If you want two servers set up in which more then two users can connect, then you need to license both servers.

Some ways around this, that may or may not work for you.

The developer license of CF is free. This allows for ColdFusion to be installed on a developer's workstation and will allow two remote IP addresses to connect to it after each start of the ColdFusion service|dameon.

The Enterprise server allows for multipe ColdFusion instances to be running on a single physical server. Each instance gets it's very own completly sperate configuration and memory space. It would be possible to set up one instance to be used as the QA server and another to be used as the production server.

But for real answers you need to talk to a ColdFusion representative at Adobe. Just know that is NOT the generic sales person one gets by calling the normal Adobe support | sales numbers. At least they have not been historically.

Thanks Ian, your last paragraph is gold. I've called adobe 3 separate times today and still not reached someone who would answer my question.

This post is beginning to show it's age, but as far as I know it is still valid information.
