Yup. We updated the ColdFusion 9 license to allow for no-cost development, testing and staging environments. You just use the same serial number as your production version.
We also included a cloud license as well. Meaning, if you are running ColdFusion Standard or Enterprise in a traditional environment, you can also install additional instances to a cloud provider like Amazon EC2 or Microsoft Azure at no extra charge. Standard edition allows for 1 cloud instance and Enterprise allows for 10. The idea is that if you are looking to migrate to a cloud, we didn't want to penalize you during the migration. Also, we wanted to support the concept of cloud-bursting, where you fire up a cloud instance to handle excessive traffic or to off-load intensive operations like reporting, pdf gen, etc. -Adam On Wed, Feb 10, 2010 at 1:47 PM, Gerald Guido <gerald.gu...@gmail.com>wrote: > > >>I have not had time to look into the dev licensing.
