Here's a real interesting line from the announcement:
"The ColdFusion 5 Enterprise and Pro End-User License will no longer permit
multiple ColdFusion applications and/or sites to be hosted on a single
ColdFusion server."
What the heck does this mean? What is the definitiion of multiple CF
applications? If I create more than one application on a server then I need
to pay more $$$?
