Hey,
Am I missing something or does this page not provide what you need? (a
Coldfusion 8 license?)

Looks like there isn't a problem after all.

Paul,
Thanks for the response. As far as having many licenses involved,
yes, potentially. However, we're just beginning the sales process,
and right now wouldn't be able to buy a chunk of licenses... it's
really a situation when we sell the software, we need a license.
I did actually speak to enterprise licensing, and didn't get much
help there either. They actually pointed me towards outside sales
partners, to which I've gotten no response.
That's a pity. Seems a little short-sighted of Adobe - I guess
they're making enough as it is. I think many companies would take
into account your situation and see it as a route towards future
upgrades. The reverse side of the coin, I guess, is the product
lifetime. There is an expectation of ongoing support when a product
is bought so I guess in the bigger picture, that involves a cost to
adobe by not being able to retire product for support quite so soon
in the future.
All pointless speculation on my part. Pity there's not a reseller
with old boxed product on the shelves.

Hi All,
Was wondering if anyone had insight into the possibility of
purchasing previous versions of Adobe product licenses. I know
this is a bit off topic, but Adobe sales (phone line) is
telling me they have no way to do it, and I just can't believe
that. I'm hoping someone within the forum has possibility come
up against this before and might have some advice. We've got a
product based on Flex using ColdFusion 8 with the LCDS ES
license included and moving to CF9 and the associated $30k
license just isn't feasible. I know that BlazeDS is an option,
but the work involved in refactoring the code to use BlazeDS
looks daunting. We're already using CF on the backend, and we
just want to keep purchasing CF 8 licences for this.
Thanks in advance for any help/advice,
Sounds like you have many licences involved. If so you might
want to get hold of an Adobe rep that deals with corporate
clients. They are far more likely to have latitude to cut a deal.
