Yes -- in regards to using over existing install to update. The link just threw me off stating .. Try Adobe ColdFusion Builder 2 Update 1<http://www.adobe.com/go/trycoldfusionbuilder> -- and then takes me to a different page which is more "trial" looking. vs: Update for Windows® <http://download.macromedia.com/pub/coldfusion_builder/updates/1/ColdFusionBuilder1_Update1_WWEJ_win.exe>(EXE, 70MB) (like for the previous updater).
After calling in, and not getting a clear answer caused more confusion.. I'm at an office that is crippled a bit on bandwidth, so I hesitated before committing to download the 399mb. I'll snag from home later. Thanks for clarifying. -Steve On Tue, May 29, 2012 at 4:05 PM, Charlie Arehart <[email protected]>wrote: > Steven, I hear you raising a couple of concerns. > > First, no, a new license is not required, if you are going from 2.0 to > 2.0.1.
