My CF 7.02 Administrator doesn't have "Packaging & Deployment > ColdFusion Archives (.car)" menu item

I want to upgrade my production server (7.02) to 8.01 but I can't find the "create CAR archive" function.  It's not in the Packaging and Deployment section in the admin program (it only has J2EE Archive).  I updated a test server to 8.01 (didn't care about the config settings), but I don't see a Packaging and Deployment tab at all there.  I have a local CF 7 installation and it does have the tab and the CAR archive function.  Is this something I have to enable to get this feature?  Any other way to save and restore settings for the upgrade to 8.01? (current server: CF 7.02 Standard, Windows Server 2003, IIS)

    Correct answer mack_

    How do I downgrade Standard to Development?  Is there a license key for developer?  I can't leave the "Enter license key" field blank, what should I use?


    Find your license.properties file (it should be in #cf_home#/lib),

    replace the serial number there with Developer:

    and restart CF. It should work.

    I could be wrong, but I thought Packaging and Deployment was only a function of CF Enterprise.

    Thanks, if true then it must be enabled for the developer version as

    well because I have it on my local CF7 administrator. Seems silly to

    include in Developer and Enterprise but not Standard.

    Thanks for replying. Is there a manual way to save and then reload the

    configuration?

    Developer version has the same functionality as Enterprise.

    If you're staying within versions you could grab all of the various XML config files.  They'd be burried in a cfusion folder under your install directory.  neo-query.xml would have all the datasource info, for example.
