What are people's experiences with Adobe Platinum Support for ColdFusion? Is it worth it in the year 2023? Are Adobe going to put out major releases every year now? CF2024, CF2025, ...?

Our reseller said that there will likely be annual releases now, but that was the first that I heard of that.

I'm pretty sure Adobe has spoken of yearly releases, though that's a little unrelated to support to a degree.

I have clients who pay for Adobe support and use it regularly. I guess it depends on whether you want to depend on asking questions here for the community or having Adobe "on call' to answer questions for you.

Our reseller also said the Adobe Platinum Support would also get access to the new releases, so long as we continue with that support plan. Basically software assurance, but I see it more as a subscription. 🤷♂️

One of my clients has a deal where their yearly support rate (I may be using the wrong term) covers both their support AND new CF upgrades as they come out. I have NO idea if that's how everyone's works-- Adobe tends to always custom-negotiate all these deals. But if so, that would be pretty handy to get support and all upgrades for one price.

I'd reach out to their sales team to discuss. I've never heard of any of those terms being written down anywhere, it's something they negotiate with you individually
