Details on Adobe ColdFusion Licensing
ColdFusion 9 is licensed based on the number of physical processors (CPUs) on the server on which it is running. ColdFusion is licensed in two-CPU increments. Each license of ColdFusion, whether Standard or Enterprise, allows the software to be installed on a server with one or two CPUs. Additional CPUs on the server require additional licenses. Note that the total number of computers on which ColdFusion 9 is installed and used may not exceed the total number of licenses purchased. That means you cannot purchase one two-CPU license and use it on two separate single-CPU servers. Each server, in that case, needs its own license. Additionally, ColdFusion 9 introduces instance-based licensing which allows you to install ColdFusion 9 on up to 10 instances in the cloud environment of your choice.
There are no special requirements for multi-core processors. ColdFusion 9 is licensed based on physical CPUs only. Multicore chips are treated as a single processor for calculating per-CPU licensing fees for ColdFusion 9.
