This all makes sense, except, why would the customer, having purchased a full copy of ColdFusion Enterpirse, want a crippled installation of ColdFusion Enterprise (i.e. sans the ColdFusion Administrator)? > 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.

I'm still having trouble seeing a use for EAR/WAR file deployment. Can you package your application up as an EAR/WAR file without ColdFusion (i.e for deployment on a running instance of ColdFusion)? Or, is ColdFusion always included in EAR/WAR file?
