Last day to download CF 8 and 9 from Adobe with Verity

Posted by David Epler in ColdFusion on May 31, 2012

About two weeks back Adobe gave notice that you would no longer be able to download a copy of ColdFusion 8 or ColdFusion 9 that contained Verity after May 31, 2012. All the ColdFusion 9 materials are at http://www.adobe.com/support/coldfusion/downloads_updates.html. 

Update: Well, the 9.0.0 installers were there until about 11am EDT May 31st, when they were replaced with the 9.0.2 installers

Only problem was that I couldn't find the download links for anything ColdFusion 8 for installers or Update 1 as that they are not on http://www.adobe.com/support/coldfusion/downloads_updates.html
 or http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=coldfusion.

First stop the Wayback Machine. I was able to get to an archive of the download update page to get ColdFusion 8 Update 1. The links to download are there and do work once you pull off the http://web.archive.org/web/20080410151153/ from the link. I was able to download all the ColdFusion 8 Update 1 packages and the MD5 hashes match.

Unfortunately, the Wayback Machine was not able to crawl the ColdFusion product download page. This was going to be a bit more work to download the full ColdFusion 8.0.1 installers. Trailing back through my browser cache I was able to pull up a version of the ColdFusion product download page that still showed 8.0.1 downloads with all the information of filename, size, and MD5 hashes.

To download the installers linked below from trials.adobe.com, you need to login to the ColdFusion product download page first and then click the link below to download the installer you need.

I just used all the links to download all the installers, but they all might really die on June 1. Act fast!

Update: All installer links above from trials.adobe.com worked as of 11:30am EDT June 26th.

    Dan,

    If you are getting:
    HTTP ERROR: 404 /support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp

    RequestURI=/support/downloads/dlm/main.jsp

    You need to go and login first at:
    http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=coldfusion

    Then you should be able to use the installer links. I just checked both the coldfusion-801-sol64.bin and ColdFusion_9_WWE_solaris64.bin both worked at 11:27am EDT.

    I just downloaded the 32-bit and 64-bit versions of CF8 for Windows and Mac. I searched for about an hour on the Adobe Web site before finally giving up. This list is incredibly helpful. Thank you!

    Just downloaded 32bit and 64bit versions of 8.0.1 for Windows.

    My 8.0 license key didn't work for the 64bit but it did for the 32bit.

    THANK YOU David for publishing this!

    Worked okay 8 & 9 Dec 2012. Had to download ColdFusion_9_WWE_win64.exe 3 times before I got a good copy that verified with the checksum.

    @Scott Truesdell Did you figure out a solution to your issue? I have the same problem, I would like to use 8.0.1 64 bit with my 8.0 license. Seems normal. Adobe chat transfers you around in circles, they don't seem to have any idea what is going on to be honest.
