Hi, I have a Windows Vista SP1 64 bit, with and amd quad core processor.

I was using the Developers edition, and today I bought the standard edition.

I already entered the serial using the CF administrator, and I clicked on "Submit Changes"

So now the serial is displaying, but the Edition hasn't changed to Standard.

I did some testing and the edition remains the same... How do I change to the standard edition?

I don't want to uninstall/reinstall and configure.

Please help!

Correct answer Ken_Ford_-_ACP-QFo4AB

When you originally installed ColdFusion did you use the 64-bit installer?

ColdFusion Standard does not support 64-bit and you will need to uninstall ColdFusion and reinstall the 32-bit version.

I did install the 64 version. I thought the "half" support of the standard version to 64 bits also meant that I wouldn't have to uninstall the version and install the 32 bits CF.

I didn't want to uninstall/install CF, but I will try it and come back with feedback.

Thanks

First question, did you restart the CodlFusion service?

Second question, how did you test this to say the edition is not what you expect?

Third question, why did you buy a standard license to put on a Windows Vista system?

1. Yes, I restarted all the CF services afrter submitting the changes,

2. I tried creating a pdf from an html page. The watermark still displays the "...not for production use" watermark. This is a fairly basic test, I know, but since the Standard ed is for production, I think I should be able to at least export to PDF

3. It was not my call... but the main reason is that the security and user access part of my system is not yet fully developed, but we wanted to start using it in our network. I don't like vista and this will not be the actual server, but in the meantime I need to use the resources I have.

That should have allowed the change to take affect, I have done this many times.

That is a sound test, you have definatly still got developer running.

What version of ColdFusion are you using?  If you have used the developer version's enterpise capability to create multiple instances of ColdFusion server, you do need to provide the license key in the Administrator of ALL the instances, not just the base 'cfusion' server.

3. It was not my call... but the main reason is that the security and user access part of my system is not yet fully developed, but we wanted to start using it in our network. I don't like vista and this will not be the actual server, but in the meantime I need to use the resources I have.

Ok, I just wanted to make sure you had not had some misguided idea that you needed a paid license for most developer requirements, since Vista is usually a workstation not a server.  It would not have been the first time somebody was confused like this.
