Packaging and Deployment Section Not Visible in CF 9 Standard

I am using CF 9 Standard for an application we built back in 2010.  I need to port the app to a new server but the Packaging and Deployment section isn't showing up on my Adminstration Panel.  Is there any way to get this installed if it is missing?  Any help would be appreciated.

    If you temporarily remove the serial number, you can revert your server to CF 9 Developer edition, which has the same features as CF Enterprise.  Do your packaging and deployment stuff, then put the serial number back in.

    Carl can you tell me how to do this?  I will give it a try.

    I believe you have to modify the license.properties file (In CF 10 it's in \ColdFusion10\cfusion, I'm not sure where it is in CF9).  Make a backup copy first, then open the file in a text editor.  Delete the values after "code=" and "sn=".  You might need to set the "sn=" value to "Developer" (without the quotes; I'm not sure if you need to do this or not).  Restart the ColdFusion service, go into CF Administrator System Information page, and verify that it now shows the Edition as "Developer" and the Serial Number as "Developer".

    Hello bknerien,

    Thank you for your post. "Packaging & Deployment" is a feature of  Enterprise version. You will not get the same setting under CF standard edition.
