So you mean that someone is averse to doing the testing on a box that is used for production, right? As a preference?
I'm just clarifying that technically, one could do such "testing" on a new implementation of CF9 on a box already running CF 8. They are unconnected to each other (you don't need to uninstall CF8 to install CF9. They can run at the same time.) Assuming that there are reasonable resources on the box, running two instances of CF at once shouldn't be a huge deal (heck, some people intentionally run more than one copy of CF at a time when using multiple instances, so it's really no different.) And you could create a "test" web site on the IIS of the prod server that would point to this trial CF implementation (whether server or multiserver). But sure, I understand that someone may have a purist perspective who'd say, "no, we're not doing any testing on a prod box". I could understand that if there was some known experience of your testing somehow bringing a box to its knees, but often testing is pretty lightweight. It's their call, of course. I was just pointing out another solution to your dilemma of a trial having run out on one of the boxes. /charlie From: ad...@acfug.org [mailto:ad...@acfug.org] On Behalf Of Ajas Mohammed Sent: Friday, July 09, 2010 6:23 PM To: discussion@acfug.org Subject: Re: [ACFUG Discuss] CF 9 enterprise license plus free development license Well, this one test server is the main QA/Test server which is accessed by clients as well, so we want this QA/Test server to have CF 9 for now so we can continue our testing. We dont plan to go CF 9 in production until we are done with complete testing on this particular QA/Test Server.So in other words, we cannot afford to have fresh trial on other servers to get extra 60 days. <Ajas Mohammed /> ------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe from this list, manage your profile @ http://www.acfug.org?fa=login.edituserform For more info, see http://www.acfug.org/mailinglists Archive @ http://www.mail-archive.com/discussion%40acfug.org/ List hosted by http://www.fusionlink.com -------------------------------------------------------------
