Well that and it depends on if they're using virtualization.

quite say that, as far as I see. He said:
We already have about 3 ColdFusion 7 enterprise licenses and this would be
an upgrade. I am not sure how to proceed since we want CF 9 only in

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.

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. That's not to be confused with the "developer" license which is
and has been free. Simply let the trial expire with a license and it
becomes a developer edition which allows only 2 ips and the local
address to access the instance.

Hi,
Our trial of CF 9 enterprise is about to expire. So, I wanted to get opinion
of people who are familiar with this scenario or who have already made
purchase of CF 9 enterprise license which allows to use a development
enterprise license free of cost for your development/test server.
Does Adobe provide a separate key for development enterprise license or do I
need to ask them for one?
Is the purchase of CF 9 Enterprise license necessary to get the free
development enterprise edition of CF 9?
We already have about 3 ColdFusion 7 enterprise licenses and this would be
an upgrade. I am not sure how to proceed since we want CF 9 only in
development for now as we are testing. Like I said, our trial expires soon.
Please clarify.
