Thank-you all for your replies.  

A. Open Source
Last month, a student worker setup a test Railo server and moved a copy of the 
CF code there.  It immediately errored out.  So I am not sure how much of a 
rewrite is needed.  FYI, CF 5 predates the JAVA version of CF.

B. Adobe
Adobe bought out Allaire after CF 5. We were registered with Allaire but Adobe 
is not helpful.  Basically, we were told that they do not support such an 
outdated version nor have records regarding them.

C. Tool
Unfortunately, our school is a bureaucrat's dream. Our director is helpless as 
the IT manager can cite univeristy SAP regulations all day.

It's sad and funny at the same time.  Allaire already got our money.  Adobe 
doesn't much care as our version predates their take over.  And we got five CF 
server boxes that are considered worthless because how software licenses are 
defined.

PS A friend tried our legacy code on their CF 8 box, and it works.  So CF 5-8 
versions are possibilities so long as we can get the licenses at a price we can 
afford.  I am afraid of getting them from eBay.  How can one tell if the 
license is valid?
