Thanks Charlie for clarification. We have unique situation where in we want CF 9 ONLY with verity, as one of our app is based of verity. We are moving to new servers 64 bit Win 2008 R2 from the old 32 bit win 2003. We want to setup exact replica of our current setup, hence we want, CF 9 only as we would have needed a lot of testing on CF 10 to make sure our app doesnt break or we dont come across new issues. We do lot of pdfs and it becomes an issue once the pdf rendering is affected by font size etc. So CF 9 to CF 10 migration is not an option and management prefers CF 9 setup on new servers.
Coming back to original topic. I had downloaded the ColdFusion_9_WWE_ win64.exe file sometime back as in probably few months back or maybe last year. I did notice that the downloads available as of now are for 9.0.2 ColdFusion_9_WWEJ_win64.exe, which we dont want. Honestly, i missed that J on the installer file on first reading. :-) So I was not comparing, the newer ColdFusion_9_WWEJ_win64.exe vs older file ColdFusion_9_WWE_win64.exe. My concern was that if i Use the older installer file, to install FRESH COPY OF CF 9 on our new servers and use the enterprise key, then it would work or not. Looks like it will work. So I will use the older file ColdFusion_9_WWE_win64.exe and install CF 9 and make a note to myself, that I install the important hotfix from Jan 2013( was cumulative) and the 2 more that got released last month. Thanks for the detailed explanation. <Ajas Mohammed /> iUseDropbox(http://db.tt/63Lvone9) 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.
