ColdFusion Deployment Profile

[JCC-RRamachand]

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 profile" 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.

Thanks Charlie. I have another issue. I could not activate the license. The error I get is: 

Is that reaching the adobe site or not? Also is there another way to activate? 

Thanks

Ram, that error seems simply to say that what you used was not a valid cf2021 license. I don't sense that it even tried to reach the server.

But first, to confirm things, you can look at the licensing.log (in the cf logs folder, new with cf2021) . It may be license.log. I'm writing on my phone.

Second, as for how to activate, there's ample discussion of that (and especially "offline activation", if that may be what you mean), here:
