Russ, that's a little unclear. Developer's Edition is meant for LOCAL development, as explained in this page that lists the editions:
http://www.macromedia.com/software/coldfusion/productinfo/product_editions/ <quote> ColdFusion MX 7 Developer Edition ColdFusion MX 7 Developer is a free, fully functional version of ColdFusion for local development of applications that will be deployed on either Standard or Enterprise servers. In addition to localhost, access to applications running on a Developer Edition server is now possible from two client machines, making team development even easier. </quote> Having said that, it does say "making team development even easier", which does seem to imply that a team can use it, up to the allowed IP address (local + 2). --- Ben -----Original Message----- From: Russ [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Thursday, February 16, 2006 6:51 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: lincense on a test server? So even if I'm developing my apps on a dedicated box (not my laptop), but I'm the only one developing on it, I need a license? That seems a bit much... > -----Original Message----- > From: Ben Forta [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, February 16, 2006 6:20 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: RE: lincense on a test server? > > Russ, > > The Developer's Edition is intended for local development, if you have > a shared development box then you do indeed need a fully licensed product. > The > additional IP address were actually allowed because testing some > features may require being able to process requests from multiple > addresses.
