Question

Will ColdFusion 11 Standard License key activate CF Enterprise Evaluation

We installed ColdFusion 11 Enterprise Evaluation (Trial) but would like to buy ColdFusion 11 Standard to use on the same Windows Server 2012.

Will we need to reinstall ColdFusion 11 Standard or will the license key/serial number work on the currently installed ColdFusion 11 Enterprise?


I assume all we'll need do is enter the purchased CF 11 Standard key into the CF Admin"New License" box want to be sure first. Can't seem to reach Adobe to answer this.

    Hi Jim,

    Unfortunately, then there is no alternative. You will have to reinstall ColdFusion as Standard edition.

    Note:- Please create a CAR package before uninstalling, so that, you preserve the CF Admin settings.

    Thanks for the info. However, I'm not at all sure I agree with you.

    On the Adobe site, asking for ColdFusion 11 Standard Trial I'm given the option to download the Standard Trial edition and it is the same identical file as the Enterprise Edition.

    So, I believe there is only one file to download for version 11, installs as Enterprise Evaluation, but depending on the licence you buy, converts to either the Enterprise or Standard Edition.

    This would mean I would NOT be required to reinstall, just enter the purchased serial number and presto, ready to go.

    From what I've seen, this is the only scenario that makes sense.

    Jim, apologies for the delay in response. I just saw your response.

    This is correct

    From your post initially, I assumed, that you are trying to convert ColdFusion 11 Standard installation to CF Enterprise installation.
