Re: Development edition invalid licence

["ksmith" <webforumsuser@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

If you un-install coldfusion from the machine and delete the coldfusion8 
directory, coldfusion should have no indicator of a previous installation. You 
should then be able to install coldfusion without using any license as trial or 
as developer.  Choose developer and install.  You can then add any valid 
license key you have.

 The only exception to this is you cannot install an 'invalid' configuration. 
The only one that comes to mind is coldfusion 8 standard only installs as a 32 
bit installation.  If you install CF8 64 bit trial, you cannot then enter a 
standard license. You must install the 32 bit trial in this case.  There may be 
other similar scenarios (but I cannot think of any now.)
