Paul,
Thanks for the response. As far as having many licenses involved,
yes, potentially. However, we're just beginning the sales process,
and right now wouldn't be able to buy a chunk of licenses... it's
really a situation when we sell the software, we need a license.
I did actually speak to enterprise licensing, and didn't get much help
there either. They actually pointed me towards outside sales
partners, to which I've gotten no response.
That's a pity. Seems a little short-sighted of Adobe - I guess they're
making enough as it is. I think many companies would take into account
your situation and see it as a route towards future upgrades. The
reverse side of the coin, I guess, is the product lifetime. There is an
expectation of ongoing support when a product is bought so I guess in
the bigger picture, that involves a cost to adobe by not being able to
retire product for support quite so soon in the future.
All pointless speculation on my part. Pity there's not a reseller with
old boxed product on the shelves.

Hi All,
Was wondering if anyone had insight into the possibility of
purchasing previous versions of Adobe product licenses. I know
this is a bit off topic, but Adobe sales (phone line) is telling
me they have no way to do it, and I just can't believe that. I'm
hoping someone within the forum has possibility come up against
this before and might have some advice. We've got a product
based on Flex using ColdFusion 8 with the LCDS ES license
included and moving to CF9 and the associated $30k license just
isn't feasible. I know that BlazeDS is an option, but the work
involved in refactoring the code to use BlazeDS looks daunting.
We're already using CF on the backend, and we just want to keep
purchasing CF 8 licences for this.
Thanks in advance for any help/advice,
Sounds like you have many licences involved. If so you might want
to get hold of an Adobe rep that deals with corporate clients.
They are far more likely to have latitude to cut a deal.
