Trial	Includes every feature in the Commercial Edition, with the exception that Verity document searches are limited to 10K	Free for trial use. Not licensed for deployment. After 30 days, converts to Developer mode.
Developer	Includes every feature in the Commercial Edition, with the following exceptions: A 10K Verity document search Only supports requests from the local host and one remote IP address	Free for noncommercial use, for one processor per server, for developing and testing web applications on the local host and one remote IP address.

When you have your license, open the ColdFusion Administrator, select Version Information at the top of the Administrator window, enter your serial number in the New License box, and submit the change.

I am unable to upgrade my license from a trial license to a professional or enterprise license for ColdFusion MX 6.1.

I received my license key, but when I enter it into the CF Administrator, it asks for my previous license key.
I have tried "trial", "evaluation", etc., but nothing works. And so my license is not being accepted.

Please help!

I have ColdFusion Developer mode installed on my server and want to
develop and test my site in Dreamweaver on my MAC. Both server and
MAC is on the same network. The problem is that the MAC IP address
was recently changed from a 65. number to a 10. internal number. both
numbers have same ending. Now ColdFusion is throwning License
error. Is it possible to reset ColdFusion to accept the new IP addres
instead of the old one?
