Regarding serial numbers, it's your choice as to whether or not you include it when you compile the application. If you're selling a product to another company/customer, you would not include the serial number, as they would need their own serial number for their own servers. However, if you're simply moving the EAR/WAR file from one server in your setup to another, and you already have the serial number needed on the target server (the server you will be deploying the EAR/WAR file on), then you can plug it in up front so that you don't have to include the CF Administrator (or use the Admin API CFCs to programmatically set it). As for the license, it only applies to the server to which the EAR/WAR file is being deployed to -- it has nothing to do with your files. So if the server you're moving to is a 2-CPU server, you'll need to purchase a CFMX Enterprise license for a 2-CPU server to be in license compliance. Further, since the license is for the physical server (and the CPU licensing is for each *physical* CPU, not virtual CPUs, by the way), you can deploy any number of instances/applications on that server; you are not restricted in any way on that front. Does that make sense? Regards, Dave. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Logware (www.logware.us): a new and convenient web-based time tracking application.
