All,

I can't seem to find a link to download CF 2018 Standard and CF Builder 2018.

Could someone, please share it

Thanks,

Eugene

Hi Eugene,

Try from here:

Adobe - ColdFusion Support Center : More Downloads

Thank you,

When I click on Adobe - ColdFusion Support Center : More Downloads I see Developer and Trial editions. I was told that I can't use Trial, because it's a Enterprise version and cannot be downgraded to Standard, so do I need to download Developer and enter Standard license key? Will it work?

Yes, there is actually only one installer for all four "regular" versions of CF: Enterprise, Standard, Developer and Trial. The behavior will depend on what serial number, if any, you enter during or after the install. If you don't enter any, you will get Trial by default unless you explicitly choose Developer. Trial is nearly identical to Enterprise. After thirty days, Trial will automatically revert to Developer. You can then enter a Standard or Enterprise license number and get the appropriate behavior. Note that some features you may have been using in Trial will not work in Standard.

Yeah, but why say in one paragraph what can be said in many? Eugene, here’s a post I did on the Adobe CF Community portal last year with a bit more on this:

in case it may add anything helpful for you. But Dave hit the nail on the head.

Just beware downloading from "any old page" like that. You don't know who put them there, or do you?

To be clear, Adobe stops offering downloads of installers for a previous version when the new version comes out. Cf2021 came out in Nov. 2020 and that's when cf2018 was pulled off their site.

But you CAN still get it from them if you licensed it, in which case login to licensing.adobe.com to find it. 

Otherwise, there is a repo of old cf installers created and managed by known community members, at http://cfmlrepo.com. And that does store the files ultimately on Google drive, so that page you found MAY be from that. We can't tell just from the url itself.

Hope all that helps you and any future readers of this post.

in case anyone is still looking for this, particularly in regards Mac - which their standard download 2018 page does not list, see https://www.adobe.com/products/catalog.html you'll need to hit show-more a few times before it shows though
