AJN CF - 29 Sep 2004 19:10 GMT

I have recently installed ColdFusion MX Standard 6.1 on my production Web
server. I have a Test Web server that I develop on. And I work from my
desktop.

Can I use the "Developer Version" on my Test Server, or do I need to purchase
another License? The License'ize is hard to interpet. I think I can, but
don't want to install invalid software. I would still work on my desktop using
Dreamweaver, and upload code to my test web for validation and CF testing. And
when all is working, put the code onto my production web server.

Is this legal? Any help on this would be appreciated.

My understanding of the developer license is that it's perfectly OK to have
a developer license on a separate machine from the one you develop on, as
long as you're the only one accessing CF on that machine. The developer
edition is limited to access via localhost and one external IP address.

At my company since we have several people working on our dev server and
need lots of folks to hit it for testing, we have a full CF license on our
dev box. If you're going to do something like that you would need a full
license.

you could do that but you'll only be able to access the test server from a
single IP address so only 1 user can access it - that's the restriction on the
developer edition. If your IP address changes you'd need to restart the CF
services
