ColdFusion 2016: What's new that's in CF Enterprise only?
Note: This blog post is from 2016. Some content may be outdated--though not necessarily. Same with links and subsequent comments from myself or others. Corrections are welcome, in the comments. And I may revise the content as necessary.Continuing my series of posts I started last week on CF2016, here's a quick post on what's new in CF 2016 that is in the Enterprise edition only (not Standard).
Fortunately, the list is pretty short:
Wow, I didn't realize Security Analyzer also required Development Profile - good find there. And, I completely agree w/ your post here :) Hopefully it is okay to link to this ticket?: https://bugbase.adob... (and thanks, BTW, for voting :))
Thanks!,

As for the dev profile, well, it does make sense on the surface in that the Sec Analyzer relies upon CFB talking to the server via RDS, and that's only enabled (by default) if one uses the Dev profile.
I suppose it may be that if one enables it separately, then it would work with the other profiles. (Those only preconfigure some things, of course.) I've not tested. If anyone else does, do let us know. :-)
Just put your Enterprise license key in a development server and run the tool against that.
And note that the CF Trial edition is technically "Enterprise" by default, so you can also run the Analyzer against a trial deployment as well.
Finally, just to be clear, it is NOT supported (by the EULA) to use the Trial edition for production purposes, nor to use your purchased Enterprise license key on that other server you may move it to for Dev/Test.
As I said in my other post about pricing and licensing (http://www.carehart....) , please read the EULA for more details (I link to it there).
To be clear: I am unable to answer questions/confusion about the EULA. I'm only pointing out things it says. I can't help with interpretation.
Here's good news: the CF product manager, Rakshith, has said he will accept such questions by email: [email protected].
HTH
But on the Adobe webinar today for CF2016, someone from Adobe said this was not so, and that it worked for CF Standard. As I don't have a CF2016 Standard license to confirm it either way, I am awaiting confirmation from CF Product Manager Rakshith about this. If it turns out it IS indeed Enterprise-only, I will add it to the page above as an update.
