I have been getting conflicting information. Just want to make sure I will be able to use this license if I buy.

    Hello San,

     

    CF system requirements here:

    I expect you should be able to install CF on your environment. 

     

    You omit details about OS, hard disk space, webserver and what database in use - so I could be missing something important that will be an issue.

     

    HTH, Carl.

    For something that should be really simple, I am surprised that there is no answer.

    There is an answer, reflected within the replies above: if you're not running that machine in the cloud, then as Carl said the EULA (which he linked to) indicates the per-core licensing, which covers the perpetual pricing offered on the Adobe site. The EULA should take just a few minutes to read. It spells out what one should need to make that decision. BTW, the EULA can be found in the root cf folder when you implement it, or it can be found online, as I discuss in a blog post. 

     

    But if the deployment is in "the cloud", that's where things become muddy, regarding the "virtual core" subscription model. See my last comment. (I didn't mention container licensing, which adds another dimension.)

     

    And to avoid all that, other options are the aws or Azure machine images (priced per hour), or go with CF hosting, both of which include the license. Or move off cf.

     

    And of course, development is free. 


    Hi Charlie

     

    I am being told by the sales agent that I need a separate license for Development and that Development is only free for Enterprise license.
