ColdFusion 2021 - Offline Activation

Hi Cold Fusion community,

 

today i've  installed the ColdFusion 2021 (Update 14) and entered the Number Series during.

 

Due to the fact our server is in a secured network layer we cannot connect to the Adobe licensing server.

So we tried to follow the offline activation process, but the mentioned button "Generate Activation Request" from the Adobe Instruction is not available in the CF Admin portal:

https://helpx.adobe.com/coldfusion/using/coldfusion-licensing-activation.html

 

Did someone else have/had the same issue and resolved it? Is there another way to get the software activated?

 

Thank you in advance.

Hi Curt,

Adobe helped us - You need to wait for the timeout in ColdFusion Admin during the activation process. After that we were able to export the offline activation file via "Generate Activation Request".

 

But I think you have a bit a different issue - You should be able to open the JSON file with an editor and Copy/Paste the data from the secured server to your local PC, even if you are using RDP. 

Should also work the way back for the response code in JSON format from your PC back to the server.

 

If your RDP Clipboard is completly disabled by security reason, i'm also not able to help you.

We have the same issue.  Did you find a solution for Activation on a secure isolated network? Our problem is we can't bring the activation request file out of the secure environment.  There has to be a wokaround!!??

No have no approved way to electronically transfer the JSON response file out of secure network.  We tried manually recreating the JSON file twice but no joy!  THANKS for the reply!!

Please confirm that "Update 14" is an error.

As far as I am aware, ColdFusion 2021 has, so far, Update 1 and Update 2.

Correct @BKBK it should be either update 1 or 2. Even if run the update for CF2018, it will not install it on CF2021.

Funny thing is, even CF2018 is not yet on Update 14; it's on Update 12.

The issue might seem frivolous, but there is a reason why I raised it: to verify that @Stefan_5847 hasn't installed hacked software.
