Given the above, here are your choices: 1. You omit the serial number when creating your EAR/WAR. Mr. Blow would then have to purchase his own CFMX Enterprise license to deploy your EAR/WAR for production use. If he doesn't enter a serial number, the EAR/WAR will essentially be a CFMX trial version for 30 days, after which it reverts to Developer Edition. 2. You enter your serial number when creating your EAR/WAR. Mr. Blow would then be able to deploy the EAR/WAR directly to production. However, you would then have to cease using that serial number with your own copy of CFMX Enterprise, as you would essentially have sold him your license. If you continue using the serial number for your own server, you would be violating the terms of your license, and Macromedia product resellers like me would track you down, skin you alive and make you into one of those "bearskin" rugs or something. I just saw "Sin City" last weekend, so I'm kind of in that mindset right now I guess. 3. Before creating your EAR/WAR, you get a valid CFMX Enterprise license from Mr. Blow, or on behalf of Mr. Blow. You enter that serial number when creating your EAR/WAR. Mr. Blow can then deploy it directly to production, and that license would legally belong to him.
