Well, to be clear, you say he may need only one CF 9 Enterprise license, but would that be because you're assuming the other 2 he owns are for test only? He doesn't quite say that, as far as I see. He said:

Like I said, our trial expires soon. It's not clear from that if all 3 cf7 ent licenses are used in production. But yes, if perhaps only 1 was, the other two were for test only, then yes he can get by with 1. But I'd be surprised to hear of someone paying for 3 enterprise license and using 2 in test and 1 in prod. :-) Sure, it could happen (test, staging, production), but that seems rare. So I just wanted to get clarification before Ajas makes a mistaken conclusion. But yes, as for pure development (single server, only a couple of users), you don't even need to buy a CF9 license. That's indeed where the free Dev edition can suffice. One last point of clarification for Ajas (or others): only with purchase of CF9 do you get the privilege to run its license in a test/staging server. There's no grandfathering of 8, 7, etc. For more on all this, see this blog entry from Terry Ryan: http://www.terrenceryan.com/blog/post.cfm/coldfusion-9-testing-staging-and-development -changes-to-eula See also especially all the comment that followed. /charlie > -----Original Message----- > From: ad...@acfug.org [mailto:ad...@acfug.org] On Behalf Of John Mason > Sent: Friday, July 09, 2010 4:14 PM > To: discussion@acfug.org > Subject: Re: [ACFUG Discuss] CF 9 enterprise license plus free development > license > > The new EULA that comes with CF9 allows you to use the same license key > for development and QA servers that you would on the production server. > Sounds like you might only need 1 ent license because of the new EULA > changes.
