License keeps reverting to Developer Edition

We have a server that keeps reverting to Developer Edition every night after restart.

We have several instances installed and it only happens to this machine.

I have already tried to enter the license from the CFIDE under information and verified the License key is the same with our other installations which is a valid key.

I also checked the file permissions and ownership of the license.properties file is the same as the other installations.

I've googled and found several cases of this but Adobe hasn't seem to have posted an answer anywhere.

Can someone please help?

Finally found the answer:

http://old.nabble.com/CF-production-server-td4534775.html

The issue was that prior, we were getting a warning "warning Unable to open /usr/cfusion8/runtime/lib/license.properties"

We thought this needed the license.properties file in /usr/cfusion8/lib to also live in that path.

Aparrently, this is a JRun license error and not a CF license error.

So everytime CF loaded, it reverted back.

We simply removed the file and now, everything is working again!

You don't have anything running on the server itself which is attempting to maintain some sort of system integrity or anything like that which might be rolling-back changes to a "known good" configuration?

After the licence is reverted, what's the last modified timestamp?  Is it always the same every night?  What system tasks - if any - are set to run at this time?

Nothing, really. Our configuration on this machine is fairly similar to others.

I tried to manually restart just now and on the logs this is what I get:

Starting Macromedia JRun 4.0 (Build 108673), coldfusion server

07/09 10:10:44 warning Invalid license; reverting to Developer Version
