After installing Coldfusion 8 on Ubuntu 7.10 and testing it
for about 3 weeks, I was satisfied with performance such that I
purchased a license. However, when I went to system information and
applied the serial number, it dropped the server from
"Enterprise(Trial)" mode to "Developer" mode, thus restricting
server access to just a couple of IP addresses.
Adobe Support recommended attempting a reinstall and applying
the serial number during the installation process. However, when
using that method, it says my serial number is invalid. For what
it's worth, Adobe has verified that the number IS valid. And while
I can successfully install CF8 on Ubuntu, CentOS, or Fedora, I'm
met with the same result each time -- I cannot successfully apply
the serial number and get a full production server going.
I am desperate for a solution, so if someone is running a
PRODUCTION CF8 server on Ubuntu, please tell us how you were able
to successfully apply the serial number. I realize Adobe supports
only Redhat OS's in the UNIX world, but surely this is just some
strange anomoly?
Many thanks!
