Does anyone here know if the "license" cfconfig key works on ACF installations?

Thanks, it's a very old one (2016), just to set up a temporary staging server. That could be it, though.

Yeah I checked and found it there, which I was puzzled it still showed as developer version. I have no idea which of our keys (if any) I need to use as previous license, so I need to experiment a bit.

I guess the problem is that it's a Standard license? Finding some mentions of it needing to be an Enterprise one?

02/19/2025, 5:12 PMCommandBox is considered a J2E installation (since it's a WAR being deployed on a servlet container)

02/19/2025, 5:12 PMTherefore, ACF will refuse to activate a standard license on CommandBox 😕

02/19/2025, 5:13 PMBack when Rakshith was the product manager, he promised me they would change this licensing to allow standard licenses on CommandBox. 3 PMs later and we're still waiting for that to happen 😢

02/19/2025, 5:13 PMThe funny thing is their own installer is just Tomcat with the WAR deployed, but they have some special files that detects that "different" so it will allow it
