Cannot invoke "coldfusion.server.LicenseService.isStandard()" Error

[Cameron324472848c4b]

I am getting the error posted in the title, the full error is the following...

Cannot invoke "coldfusion.server.LicenseService.isStandard()" because the return value of "coldfusion.server.ServiceFactory.getLicenseService()" is null

I have applied the hotfix-007 patch already as per instructions from https://www.carehart.org/blog/2023/10/10/solving_problems_applying_latest_cf_updates

Any help is appreciated, thank you.

It seems you have installed the update without applying the fix -Djdk.util.zip.disableZip64ExtraFieldValidation. What happens when you try the following (assuming ColdFusion plays along) :

1.  Open /cfusion/bin/jvm.config in an editor;
2.  Add -Djdk.util.zip.disableZip64ExtraFieldValidation=true to the java.args property; 
3.  Restart ColdFusion.
4.  Check whether it is then possible to launch the ColdFusion Administrator.
5.  If so, launch it and go to the Package Manager page. Verify whether Update 7 is installed. If it is not, then try installing it via the Administrator.
6.  If you're unable to launch the Administrator, let us know. You will then need a different set of suggestions.
