These downloads are fully-functional production quality versions of BlueDragon. Some versions default to a development mode which restrict processing to "local-IP" browser requests.

Evaluation license keys are not required for developer-mode use. However, an evaluation license key can be obtained to remove the local IP processing restriction for 30 days, allowing browser requests from any machine to be processed.

Upon purchase of a BlueDragon deployment license, a permanent license key will be provided which will remove the local-IP restriction and fully enable BlueDragon to process browser requests from any machine.

Please be sure to fully review and understand the usage terms within the BlueDragon Software License Agreement (SLA) prior to installing and using any BlueDragon product version.

The BlueDragon Documentation page contains additional details that you should review before installing any version of BlueDragon.

Visit the BlueDragon Product Information page for more information on the different versions of BlueDragon.

BlueDragon 7.1.1 for the Microsoft .NET Framework allows you to natively integrate and deploy your CFML on the .NET platform. Leverage BlueDragon for native high-performance integration with ASP.NET, ADO.NET, C# and Visual Basic.NET.

Deployable as a .NET Framework assembly residing in the .NET Global Assembly Cache (GAC), BlueDragon for the Microsoft .NET Framework offers true native platform deployment of CFML on the .NET platform.

Note: This single installer is used for both the Standard and Enterprise edition of BlueDragon for the Microsoft .NET Framework. Separate edition-specific license keys are used to enable "Standard" or "Enterprise" mode.

For further details on differences between the Standard and Enterprise editions, click here.

Upon installation of BlueDragon 7.1.1 for the Microsoft .NET Framework an evaluation license key is automatically created and registered, making the product fully functional for a 30-day period.

The product will revert to developer-mode (local-IP restriction) upon expiration of the 30-day period. To receive an additional evaluation license key for BlueDragon 7.1.1 for the Microsoft .NET Framework, please contact Sales.

Before Installing: The .NET Framework has important differences that may be unfamiliar to traditional CFML developers. In particular, the notion of .NET "web applications" and BlueDragon's support of an administrative console per web application are important to understand. Please read Deploying CFML on ASP.NET and the Microsoft .NET Framework.

For BlueDragon 7.1.1 for Java EE Application Servers, a purchased or 30-day evaluation license key removes the developer-mode local-IP restriction, in addition to enabling Java EE WAR/EAR archive file deployment.

Upon download of any BlueDragon for Java EE Application Servers installer, a 30-day evaluation license key is automatically sent to the email address in your registration account.

Upon installation of BlueDragon 7.1.1 Server JX an evaluation license key is automatically created and registered, making the product fully functional for a 30-day period.
