FWIW, there is an Adobe KB article on backward licensing, but the wording seems unchanged since CF2016.).As for CF2021, there are no comments in that post, for now, nor any other announcements I've seen.
This was discussed in a 2016 Adobe CF blog post, with comments in 2018 that said this would apply to CF2018 as well. This was the same when CF2018 and CF2016 came out, when there was then provision to do a "backward licensing" of the older version, where you would buy the latest version but get to use that license with the next earlier version.What about buying CF2018? And while CF2018 will indeed be updated into 2023, if you are on CF2016 or earlier, note that Adobe no longer offers CF2018 for sale or download on the CF site.Folks interested in staying as up to date as possible, for as long as possible, should consider buying and updating to CF2021, which came out last week, as its updates will be offered for 5 more years (2025).There are a few options you may consider, in descending order of the longest term of getting ongoing CF support: Here are the dates for recent CF versions (including CF2021), from the Adobe corporate " eol matrix" page: The various core support end dates for CF and CFBuilder versionsĪs you may know, ColdFusion versions follow an approximate 5-year cycle, from release to end of "core" support, with an extra year of "extended support" (which does NOT include updates). For more on that update, see the Adobe blog post from March 2021.) Sadly, some of the changes in the update-not related to the security fix-were "breaking" changes. [Update: CF2016 users got a "reprieve" of sorts, when Adobe released updates to CF20 in March 2021, and they also offered the final update to CF2016, update 17, especially because it address a security vulnerability. Wondering what you can do? or when CF2018 or CF2021 support ends? And what's the difference between "core" and paid Adobe support plans? For more on these, as well as official Adobe documentation that discusses such things, read on. The recent release of CF2021 is a great sign for the continued vitality of CF, but this looming deadline is a reminder that as the years roll on, we not only get new versions but we say good-bye to old ones. Are you still running ColdFusion 2016? Did you know that its "core" support (meaning, public updates from Adobe) will end in just a couple of months, Feb 21 2021? Same for CFBuilder 2016.
