You can now host test servers and staging servers for free (1 per standard/enterprise license I think).  You need to have CF9 of course.

Terry Ryan has posted a blog about new licensing support. The problem with licenses, even when you are trying to be nice is that they are intentionally prescriptive.   he wrote in comments:

“In anycase, we don’t have Adobe police. The rules here are meant to enable you to have a proper environment, that is the spirit of those rules. We’re not going to hunt people down”.

I think that Adobe are being really nice about this – so kudos to them for that. Although it does start me thinking about what Adobe police would look like…

If you struggle with that there is always the brilliant Railo which has just jumped another point version in Alpha. The version Smarticles have running in production is lovely, lightning fast and stable. If I need a dev instance or 20 I can have them.  Love it.
