What's the difference between Coldfusion Developer Edition and Enterprise Edition? - coldfusion

I'm trying to test Coldfusion for learning purposes, but I really don't know what is the aditional features that the non-free Enterprise Edition add to the free Developer Edition.
Thanks!

Legally, Enterprise is for public consumption, and Dev is not.
Practically, this means that the Dev edition (which is the same as the Eval edition after the 30? days) is limited to localhost + 1 IP address. That is, it can serve files to localhost and 1 external IP. This IP can only be reset by restarting the service.
Otherwise, your dev install will mimic an ent install completely.

The developer edition of Adobe ColdFusion Server is limited by IP addresses - only the localhost and 1 other IP address can access the server. Any more, and it will throw license exceptions.
Also, printable items such as documents created with cfdocument and cfpresentation are watermarked with a gigantic diagonal banner over each page.
Otherwise, the dev and enterprise editions both have all the features enabled, including advanced debugging and server monitoring, PDF & FlashPaper generation, advanced gateways, 64 bit CPU support and full database drivers including Oracle - the works.
The Trial edition of ColdFusion is the same as enterprise for 30 days, but then drops to be the developer edition after 30 days - once the license has expired. Do make sure you remember to get your serial number in if you put this on production :)
For reference, see Adobe ColdFusion Editions.

The key is the line: "Used for delivering multiple websites and applications on one or more servers"
The Enterprise Edition allows for deployment for commercial purposes.
The Development Edition allows you to develop locally, but not deploy. The deployment requires Enterprise or Standard editions, or purchasing a hosting solution which handles the licensing for you.

Here you go.

MS Azure VM + Visual Studio + VS Code and with AWS

After a strong battle, I managed to set up MS Azure Account, set up Windows VM, install Chrome, install VS 2022, and VSCode. Also, I managed to connect from Desktop RDP and also from the Browser using the Bastion feature. This means I can now connect to the Azure VM using the Browser and no need for an RDP Desktop client. All such features are free based on a credit I got which will end after I utilize the remaining balance. I am also trying to have the same setup using AWS, but still struggling.
I thought this approach will allow me to connect to my local dev environment and no need to worry about updating my laptop to work with such technologies.
Now I can work on my Java and C# Projects from the Library Desktop computers and no need to carry my laptop with me, or this is what I am hoping at least. I realized after many years of working with different laptops, I have to upgrade it one day, and maintaining my laptop is very cumbersome.
I am wondering if anyone has been through such a setup and if it is worth it, and if you recommend using AWS or MS Azure. And, probably paying for the cloud subscription fee is more cost-effective compared to the cost of updating and maintaining your laptop.
I appreciate your feedback.

Is there a successor for Sync Framework 2.1?

we are using Microsoft Sync Framework 2.1 in various customer projects for file and database sync. Extended Support will end in 2021.
So my questions are:
What is Microsofts strategy for the sync framework? Is it going to be open source, so we can change if needed ourselves? Is there a successor product that we should / can migrate to?
Is MSSF supported on Windows 10 and Server 2016?
Not sure if my answer really helps, but lets see: Microsoft announced the official release of the "Azure SQL Data Sync" on June 18 2018. It is not truly a successor of the original framework, but it is basically all you get. Other "non cloud" frameworks have also started to fade away, since Microsoft treats server/desktop/on-premise only as an extension to the cloud. As the name indicates, it is targeting Azure and it is not for file sync, either.
I have seen your question also in the "old" Microsoft social network (social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home). In there they point to this framework in questions related to the original "Sync Framework" since something like 2012 (this was the oldest question I could associate with both frameworks).

TeamCity Professional License

I'm considering TeamCity for CI and not sure whether I can use Professional License (which is free) for commercial application?
From their license page https://www.jetbrains.com/teamcity/buy/ , seem like the Professional License only restricted in number of build configuration and build agents, doesn't mention anything about commercial usage.
In their FAQ https://sales.jetbrains.com/hc/en-gb, they are talking about commercial license and personal license, not mentioning professional license and enterprise license, which makes me even more confused. Is the FAQ page outdated?
My application is .NET application, hosted in Github (private). We intend to setup TeamCity in AWS as build server
According to the licensing (section 4b: https://www.jetbrains.com/teamcity/buy/license.html), there is no restriction for corporations.
Note: In my division we currently use the free version, and we didn't find any difficulties. We are still planning to upgrade soon because of the limited build configurations.
TeamCity can be used for commercial purposes, but is restricted to 20 build configurations and 3 build agents. If you want to use more build configurations or agents, then you need to upgrade to a paid licence.
However, if you just need additional build agents, these can be bought separately.
From TeamCity 2017.2 onwards, the professional version (free) includes 100 build configurations, which is a significant increase on the previous versions that were limited to 20. It still has a limit of 3 build agents.

What is multiserver installation in Coldfusion?

I'm not clear that what is the benefits of Multiserver installation in Coldfusion? Which benefits can I get when I installed like that in my server?
So that you can have 1 CF project per CF instance.
Each instance can have their own webserver and CFAdmin settings (i.e. data source, mapping, etc.)
Very useful especially when you work on multiple projects. (e.g. SiteA.dev maps to CF instance A, and SiteB.dev maps to CF Instance B)
Note: only available in Developer / Enterprise edition, not Standard.
If you're using Win 7 Pro, use IIS. Otherwise, use Apache with virtual hostings (vhost.conf) to support multiple sites on your development machine.

Viewing a list of locks in Coldfusion

Is there anyway to see a list of the current locks in Coldfusion (particularly locks on files or directories).
Through a non documented call is fine as this is more for debugging some errors we're getting on our server.
Thanks,
Tom
you might try FusionDebug, while it is commercial they do have a full featured 20 day trial. Also the developer edition of Adobe's coldfusion 8 has a server monitor, though its only for your local instance, unless of course you are running the enterprise edition on your production system.
edit
While FusionDebug is an excellent eclipse based debugger, i think in your case you want the FusionReactor to monitor the system's status.
