I reran the service release tonight and tried just going from release 4 to release 9, still same issue. I looked at the HF_update file for release 9 and below is the quick summary resuls:
Installation: Successful.
1459 Successes
0 Warnings
0 NonFatalErrors
0 FatalErrors
Action Notes:
None
I also copied all the log files before I had to revert back and the only thing I saw that was a little wierd was the following:

Aug 8, 2023 18:50:10 PM Error [Thread-7] - An error has occurred while validating online.
Our license has been validated and shows as active and deployment type as Production. We did have to do an activate offline because it sits behind a firewall. I will also say that when I look at the rest of the logs, it was also doing this before the update without any issues, at least as we were aware of. I am doing the udates using the c:\coldfusion2021\jre\bin\java.exe. Do we need to do this using cfpm? I see the similar results in the cfpm-audit.log file as I do in the coldfusio-out.log file, even though we didn't use that application to execute it.
I'm not sure I'd categorize this as a little weird. I would open a ticket with Adobe or check the CF bug tracker. Admittedly, I don't know too much about license validation in CF. But someone at Adobe should assist with you in resolving this.
