Is there any way to update the Deployment Type of a CF2021 server? If so, how?
s
I have never needed to change a deployment type, but I would assume you need to re-install CF and install it with the new deployment type... but interested to see if there is another way that doesn't involve a re-install
m
I would also really like to avoid a re-install
s
I don't have any live servers that I want to mess around with this on, but I would assume if there was a way to edit it without a re-install, it would be on the licensing and activation screen in the CF admin. I can see on my local dev that there is a way to put in a Key, but I have no idea if, when you put in a valid key and click activate, will it prompt you to select a different deployment type?

Yes, I noticed it wasn't updateable from the ColdFusion Administrator UI. I was just curious if anyone knew another way to update it.
@Mark Takata (Adobe) Could I please get confirmation from Adobe?
I guess Mark has been busy, so would you be able to help @priyank_adobe?

Priyank or @sandip_halder are the right folks to ask here
p
We can do that
m
When you say "we can", I'm unclear what that means. Do you mean you would do that remotely?
@priyank_adobe Just following up on this since it's been a while. Can you clarify what can be done, please?
@sandip_halder Are you the one I should be asking?

Hi Matthew, are you trying to install CF update? Can you give me some more info on your environment?
m
@sandip_halder Not an update. Just curious how to change the Deployment Type of a CF installation.
p
@mtbrown Apologies for the delay, here you can change the Deployment Type. Go to \ColdFusion2021\cfusion\lib and take the backup of "_*licenseinfo.properties*_" and there change the Deployment type and restart ColdFusion to take effect.

@priyank_adobe Thank you very much. That worked.
