ColdFusion 10 licensing

[Stormpool]

Hello!

I'm on the phone to Adobe, but at over an hour in the queue it's not looking promising.

We're looking to buy CF10 enterprise,

We have a development server, a staging server (acceptance testing), the production server and a failover server (disaster recovery).

Will the licensing of ColdFusion for the production server allow the other 3 environments to run the fully fledged CF enterprise with no IP restrictions? Any insight in what happens during install?

I don't want to be using the developer edition of CF10.

Any answers?

Thanks, Dan

1hour 40minutes in the queue ... still no idea when someone will answer.

I believe the CF10 EULA is pretty clear that all of your non-production servers can run on your production license legally.  The allowance for using a license for non-production servers was expanded in CF10 from what was covered in CF9.  I believe a blog post at blogs.coldfusion.com clarified the EULA also (especially in the extensive comments section).
