Well that's true, yes, though technically you could install CF9 on another of the boxes (as I assume you have one for each of the 3 prod licenses), to that will get you another 60 days. :-)

To clarify, we have 3 production enterprise CF 7 licenses and 1 enterprise CF 7 license on dev/QA server. So total of 4 licenses. Yes, I am familiar with local Developer edition setup and thats how I develop i.e. locally on my workstation. I am very happy with that. :-) We have trial of Enterprise CF9 setup on our main dev/QA server and I thought I will ask first before buying the upgrade Enterprise CF9 license. From the discussion, looks like we have to buy 1 license at least as there is no other way to extend the trial. Thanks, <Ajas Mohammed /> http://ajashadi.blogspot.com We cannot become what we need to be, remaining what we are. No matter what, find a way. Because thats what winners do. You can't improve what you don't measure. Quality is never an accident; it is always the result of high intention, sincere effort, intelligent direction and skillful execution; it represents the wise choice of many alternatives.
