Actually according the EULA (if you actually read it), turns out that accessing the cf server from more then 1 address violates the EULA. See subsection C in the following paragraph. Apparently they forgot the rewrite the EULA since version 6, so using a workaround like a router or apache seems to be the only way to comply with the EULA (assuming that you're not breaking other parts of it, i.e. using the developer edition solely for developing).
http://www.macromedia.com/software/eula/server/ (h) You shall not (A) use the Developer Version for any application deployment in a live or stand-by production environment or staging environment, in each case, including, without limitation, in any environment accessed by application end-users including but not limited to servers, workstations, kiosks, and mobile computers , (B) use or deploy the Developer Version other than internally for the sole purpose of designing, developing, and evaluating applications pursuant to the terms and conditions set forth in this EULA, (C) access the Developer Version from more than a single IP address at any given time, or, only if you are using the Developer Version of Macromedia Flex, from more than five IP addresses at any given time, (D) use the Developer Version to deploy applications that are accessed by end users, or (E) use the Developer Version of Macromedia Flex to compile .swf files for deployment outside of a validly licensed copy of the Macromedia Flex presentation server. > -----Original Message----- > From: Joelle Tegwen [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Sent: Thursday, February 16, 2006 2:51 PM > To: CF-Talk > Subject: Re: lincense on a test server? > > Just to be clear on the developer edition is it > - 2 IP addresses > or > - 2 IP addresses at a time? > > We could use the method you suggest for all of our developers, but then > we'd still occasionally have non-developers looking at the site to see > how development is proceeding.
