In fact, you said the exact opposite. As such the first portion of my previous post is incorrect.

I should say that this was far from the first time I ran into this problem. Just happened to piss me off enough to finally yell at "no one". Regarding the legal issues, we've since stopped using the DevNet server, and are in the process of rolling all of our applications off CF completely. We should be almost totally CF-free by the end of the year. It's simply ridiculous to spend more money on licenses for development servers than on production servers. Anonymous Coward,

I just want to say that, I find it ironic that you actually bought the software, but don't care about legality. The devnet servers 'expired' at the same time as your devnet subscription. Unless you got (or renewed) a Devnet subscription very late in the game, your subscription was most likely expired at the time of this writing.

Be legal, but encourage your vendors to not be stupid about their licensing, especially when they go back on their promises. Regarding DevNet servers, the phrase "fully functional" is in there, even though CF7 is clearly not.

YMMV.
