Well the license mentions that you're only allowed to use only 1 ip, yet we've heard from many sources and the physical product allows 2 ips. Are we violating the license if we access it from 2 different ips? Yes. Are the courts going to see it this way? I doubt it.
The point is I believe it's reasonable to use the developer edition for development only, and if I have to put in a workaround to make the requests from all the developers go through one ip, I believe that's reasonable. The spirit of the license is to use the developer edition for development only, and not for any sort of production use. The ip restriction is of little consequence as far as I see it, but perhaps someone from macromedia can elaborate. For the record, we all use licensed servers as well, but in getting a N-Tier configuration to work, I noticed that CF only sees 1 ip when the requests are coming from another server and are proxied. I actually had to write a filter to get CF to see the actual ip of the user.
