ColdFusion Deployment Profile

Hi All, 

 

I need help with ColdFusion Deployment profile. My deployment profile currently shows "Development" in Deployment Profile. I need to convert this to "Production" profile and apply the license Serial Number without re-install. How can I do? 

 

Thanks

Ram

    Good news, Ram.  You can just edit licenseinfo.properties file, in the cfusion/lib folder (or if using instances, [instancename]/lib), then restart CF.  You will see the change reflected in the CF Admin "Licnsing and Activation" page. (Readers should note we are discussing the new CF2021 "deployment type" feature, not to be confused with the "developer profile" which had been introduced in CF11.)

    FWIW, I raised a bug for it in Nov 2021 (https://tracker.adobe.com/#/view/CF-4212569), and I hope you'll add a vote for it. I discuss this workaround there, including the 5 values for deploymenttype (and where those are documented).

    Let us know if this gets you going.

    P. S. As an edit in 2026, note that while cf2025 changed to using NUMBERS for this deployment type (on the silent install or docker container config features), the values in this licenseinfo.properties remain strings (for now).

    P. P. S. And sadly the bug I reported above in tracker also remains in "to fix" status, even in 2026. :-(
