ColdFusion 2025 Enterprise licensing for non-public Cloud use

[wtlaughlin]

We are going to need to update from ColdFusion 2021 Enterprise to version 2025 within the next few months. However, our environment doesn't fit within the requirements of either a Named User License or a Feature Restricted License.

The system(s) will not be able to connect to Adobe's licensing servers on the commercial internet. However, they will require private Cloud connectivity via Azure Government Cloud, which means a feature-restricted version that does not allow Cloud access will probably render the system useless. The FAQs suggest a hybrid option may be available, but how do we ensure we are obtaining the right licenses for our environment? (Everything will have to be passed through a Government purchasing vehicle, so the more information we have up-front on how to obtain the right licenses, the fewer bureaucratic & technical complications we're likely to run into.)

Thanks!

The best, even ideal, place to get an answer to your query is Adobe ColdFusion Support.

You should mail them: cfsup@adobe.com .

Please check out Azure Marketplace for options: https://marketplace.microsoft.com/en-us/marketplace/apps?search=coldfusion%202025%20coalesce&page=1

None of these require internet to activate the license and all usage will be metered by Azure. There are two images that are provided by Adobe and one Hardened Windows.

I don't believe these images are available for use in our environment. However, I will ask to see if this is a possible alternative. Thanks!
