This is good news, however does Homesite still do the same as it used to when I was using it back in the V3.0 days and you could keep using it after the trial expired or has this also changed.
Also I am about to reinstall CFStudio 5.0 over the trial, I had some problems where I couldn't enter the serial. I think I clicked on the wrong install path, but will check that out later. But would it be better to uninstall Studio 5.0 first, just that I don't want to loose all my custom settings that I have had since 4.0:-) -----Original Message----- From: Matt Brown [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, 8 January 2002 11:28 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: ANN: ColdFusion Server Developer Edition I think you guys know this from the end of last week, but I wanted to make it official. Sorry there was some miscommunication on our end about the timing of the release. Hopefully most questions will be answered with this. On January 7, 2002 Macromedia is making available a new ColdFusion Server 5 Developer Edition and a new Trial Edition that automatically converts to the Developer Edition after 30 days. The ColdFusion Server 5 Developer Edition is a non-expiring, full featured, version of ColdFusion Server 5 limited to a single browser and licensed for development use only. Below are some Q&As on the Developer and Trial Editions of ColdFusion Server 5, the differences between these two editions, licensed uses of these two editions, and how to get these editions. What is the ColdFusion Server 5 Trial Edition? The ColdFusion Server 5 Trial Edition is a free, full-featured edition of ColdFusion Server 5 to be used by prospects and customers to evaluate ColdFusion Server 5. It allows multiple IP addresses (browsers or users) to connect to an application, includes all the features of ColdFusion Server Enterprise and is licensed for use for 30 days from the time of installation. What is the ColdFusion Server 5 Developer Edition? The ColdFusion Server 5 Developer Edition is a single IP limited, non-expiring, free version of ColdFusion Server 5. It is designed to allow prospects that are evaluating ColdFusion to use it for more than 30 days, students and others to learn ColdFusion, and independent developers to build ColdFusion applications on a standalone workstation. What is the difference between the Trial Edition and Developer Edition of ColdFusion Server 5? The Trial edition can be accessed from multiple IP addresses and is offered to enable customers and prospects to evaluate ColdFusion Server in real-life scenario, including load testing, during a 30-day trial period. The Developer edition can be accessed from a single IP address and is offered to help customers to learn ColdFusion and/or develop ColdFusion applications on their standalone workstation. How do prospects and customers get the Trial Edition of ColdFusion Server 5? The Trial Edition can be downloaded or ordered on CD from the Macromedia.com web site, distributed on CD at a tradeshow or seminar, or be redistributed by Macromedia ISVs and other redistribution partners. It is also available in numerous ColdFusion 5 books. How do prospects and customers get the Developer Edition of ColdFusion Server 5? The Trial Edition must still be downloaded to get the Developer Edition of ColdFusion Server 5. The Trial Edition automatically converts to the Developer Edition at the end of the 30-day trial period. If you have already downloaded and installed the ColdFusion Trial, before the availability of Developer Edition (January 2, 2002), then the only way to get the Developer Edition is to download the latest version of the trial edition. Note that prior versions of the ColdFusion Server 5 Trial Editions do not automatically convert to the Developer Edition. Can I deploy applications with the Developer Edition? No. The Developer Edition is licensed for development use only and can be accessed only by a single IP address. The Developer Edition is not licensed for any deployment use. How much does the ColdFusion Server 5 Developer Edition cost? The Developer Edition is free and can be downloaded from the Macromedia ColdFusion download page at http://www.macromedia.com/software/coldfusion/downloads/ _________________________________________________________ Matt Brown Community Manager Macromedia (650) 481-4525 [EMAIL PROTECTED] FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists ______________________________________________________________________ Dedicated Windows 2000 Server PIII 800 / 256 MB RAM / 40 GB HD / 20 GB MO/XFER Instant Activation · $99/Month · Free Setup http://www.pennyhost.com/redirect.cfm?adcode=coldfusiona FAQ: http://www.thenetprofits.co.uk/coldfusion/faq Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/cf-talk@houseoffusion.com/ Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/index.cfm?sidebar=lists
