LOL!
Probably should not ever happen on a "production" box - but as we are all to
used to - the "experts" run the systems and not the experts.
Probably what happened was the install was rushed and no valid license
number was entered on install, or neglected to happen after install (this is
what happens when IT guys and not CF guys have CFAdmin access). A CF
Developer with any sort of acumen would have picked that up pretty quickly.
Learn from your mistakes.
I do like how they are asking Macromedia to explain the problem (not) -
should look in their own back yard first :)

Cold Fusion confusion for govt site
Chris Jenkins
MARCH 30, 2005
A GLITCH in the Cold Fusion web content system has seen the federal
Government's central procurement website down for much of the day.
The glitch, which appeared this morning, saw the website displaying a
message that the evaluation copy of Cold Fusion being used to publish the
www.tenders.gov.au site had expired.
Despite the message, site owner the Australian Government Information
Management Office (AGIMO) held a valid full licence for the Macromedia-made
product, and was working to determine why the message had appeared, a
spokesman said.
With no requests for tender due to be published today, a message that the
site was temporarily unavailable had been put up to avoid confusion, he
said.
"We are talking to Macromedia about what it is, how it might have come about
and how we can fix it," he said.
Service had been restored by the afternoon.

Hands up if you think this was a muck-up by internal IT staff and they are
blame shifting?

Jon
