You can't buy CF8 yet, that's why. But you can purchase a CF7 license with subscriptions, which will allow you to upgrade to CF8 "for free" when it's released. Ben Forta suggested this very thing at his Nashville UG presentation for Scorpio.
I'd also suggest moving straight to 8. With that much code, I'm sure it's going to take you several months to rewrite anyway. Just test everything in a dev environment, and by the time you're ready to go live, CF8 "should" be out. andy -----Original Message----- From: Andrew Scott [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, June 20, 2007 9:55 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: Migrating Ancient CF Code My Gut says go with CF8 is due very soon. And the speed increase will be worth it. But to be honest, it is a strange question you should be able to answer without us putting anything forward. Why buy cfmx7 when you can buy cfmx8?
