    There is no "upgrade" really. You will need to buy a new license for CF 11 (there is no upgrade path from 7 to 11) and then install it on the server you want to run it on.

    The only thing you will need to do is check your code works when running on CF11. You can get a developer edition of CF11 to run locally to test your code and make changes before deploying it to production. Alternatively there is a code analyser that can give you a few hints to what needs changing in the CF 11 administrator.

    Hi,

    The coldfusion MX 7 is current running on a windows 2003 server. We are

    planning to setup a new windows 2012 environment. So the migration path

    sound like to install a full version of coldfusion 11 on teh window 2012

    server and move the folders of the coldfusion MX7 to the new server?

    Regards

    Daniel

    Essentially, yup.  There are quite a few things that have been deprecated between CF7MX and CF11; likewise, quite a few new things.

    And even if you did do the upgrade process, I'm pretty sure you'd first have to upgrade from 7 to 8, then 8 to 9, etc.

    A full install from scratch would be not only the easiest, but also the fastest.  And as haxtbh pointed out, the best thing would be to install CF11 to a test server, copy your .cfm files and components, et al, to that test server, and run the application, prepared to do a lot of troubleshooting and fixing of code.  It might also be beneficial to do some research and see if any of your CF7 code can be more efficiently done with some of the new CF11 functions.

    HTH,

    ^_^
