Re: mx 6 licenses?

[Jeff Congdon]

CF7 is, in our opinion, too new to run on production.  We're just now 
moving to 6.11 on these servers (from 5.x), after having run 6.x for a 
few years on our backend.

I still find myself fighting, in the last 60 days, fatal errors on my 
6.11 servers that that would have been disasterous if we had encountered 
them on our public WWW servers (see: client variables looping and 
crashing IIS every 7 days,  
http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_19590)  
So, flat out, I don't trust 7 yet for our public site, and my 
Bossman(tm) trusts it even less.  I'm even a bit worried about putting 
6.11 on these machines for the same reason, but to a much lesser extent.

The licensing issue turned out to be moot, b/c my cooworker found his 
old CF5 - MX upgrade licenses that he thought he had lost.  But what we 
would have done, we had decided, is buy MX7 licenses, put MX7 on our 
backend machines that were 'least necessary', then pushed those MX6 
licenses to the pub servers.

I'll begin playing with MX7 this summer though, as I'm really curious 
about some of the new functionality - namely CFDOCUMENT to pdf.

Thanks,
-Jeff

Except the FREE version of BlueDragon doesn't support HTTPS.  They kinda
hide it in the documentation... we found out the hard way.

CFMX 7 is the same price as 6.1, so if you go with 7 you'll get an extra 
upgrade cycle and a lot of benefits in terms of functionality and power.

Unless you're looking to pick up 6.0 licenses on the cheap just because it's

a deprecated product, I'd highly recommend 7 just because of the deprecation

likelihood of 6.1 in future upgrade cycles.

If you need licensed versions of a CF engine, look at BlueDragon Standard...

which happens to be quite speedy and powerful, but also happens to be free.

I kinda hope you're not suggesting you buy licenses for 6.0? Gads,
man... 
don't be rediculous!

It's not available at MM anymore at all, so you're looking at
second-hand
(Ebay?) or some other vendor that may still have a copy or two. The
thing is, 6.1 came out almost immediately on the heels of 6.0 because
6.0 was particularly troublesome.

Hey gang,

I assume somebody in here knows the right place to go to buy MX 6?  I
can't find it as a listed product on MM's website, and we'd like to buy
a few licenses.

TIA,
