It now works with any CF2021 edition. And you may have a free license of CF Builder you could use for this.Whether you may be currently using the ColdFusion Security Code Analyzer feature or have never known of it or used it, this is a newsworthy discovery: the tool now works with ColdFusion 2021 when running even as the free Developer edition or Standard edition/license. Prior to CF2021, it worked only with CF’s Enterprise license or Trial edition, and specifically NOT with a Standard license or the free Developer edition.https://coldfusion.adobe.com/2021/07/coldfusion-security-analyzer-works-with-standard-and-developer/ Blog - Charlie Arehart - ColdFusion Portal - What to try when Adobe site downloads or form submissions fail to work properlyHave you perhaps tried to download ColdFusion from the Adobe site, only to find after you fill out the CF dev/trial download form that the download would not start? You’re just left at a page which offers no other means to download (Adobe could and should fix that by offering links on that page in case this could happen).Or perhaps you’ve tried to file a bug report at the Adobe Tracker site, only to find that the bug report fails to be submitted and you instead get an error, “Bug Submission Failed“. Even trying to file a blog post on this very portal can sometimes be met with “submission failed“.WOW COOKIEShttps://coldfusion.adobe.com/2021/07/try-adobe-site-downloads-form-submissions-fail-work-properly/ Tweet - Ben Nadel - Gif SkillsPracticing my #GIF skills this morning with #Camtasia.
