Today, we’re very excited to announce the 2018 release of Adobe ColdFusion. This release builds on Adobe’s industry-leading solution for creating and deploying scalable, high-performing web applications in CFML. Now in ColdFusion, we’ve added an all-new Performance Monitoring Toolset, a standalone server with low overhead to control and optimize applications and a new auto lockdown installer to help increase security in the Production Server. In addition, web developers can now boost the performance of their applications by taking advantage of Asynchronous programming and various other language enhancements. And, upgrading to the 2018 release immediately allows applications to run 30 percent faster.
“The enormous digital transformation that we are witnessing around us has made it an absolute necessity for organizations to quickly adapt to changing market developments,” said Tridib Roy Chowdhury, senior director of products, Print and Publishing, Adobe. “A secure platform, that is not only productive but also one that performs and scales well under variable demands, will lie at the heart of digital transformations happening in all organizations. The new features of Adobe ColdFusion platform provide our users, the much-needed tools and capabilities to handle the pace and scale of such a transformation”

Hi Carl,
Have you installed PMT? If no, please install it first.
Once it is installed, you can enable monitoring using PMT dashboard.

-readme
-sms client application
-web server configuration tool
Thanks Kindly, Carl.

Hi Anit,
do you know if this new Standard Edition can be used to deploy a SaaS application sold to customers for a monthly fee?
Or is this kind of use case prohibited by the license?
Thank you

We were running the 2016 trial, which expired. Our application is currently a bit crippled. Now trying buy the 2016 version or extend our trial (a week or so) until we have time to plan a migration to 2018. We have already purchased 2018. Any help would be fantastic. I have spend over 3 hours trying to reach someone to talk to. Submitted a support request via chat and they said I may not receive a call back until tomorrow.
