With the help of an Adobe person who e-mailed me privately, we have figured out what is wrong... Apparently 64-bit ColdFusion 8 is only available for the Enterprise Edition. My key only covers the Standard Edition. So at least we know why the key wasn't working. Why the customer-service and/or tech-support people couldn't tell me that is just beyond me... Would've save a LOT of time if they'd just known that fact from the beginning.
Anyway -- now my problem is this: How do I install 32-bit CF8 on a 64-bit IIS without killing CertSrv? Heck, I guess I should join a CF group, eh? LOL I think I'll do that right now. But if there are any folks in the Flex group here who've dealt with this problem, please feel free to e-mail me.
