Looking into a ColdFusion to Lucee migration?
With Adobe ColdFusion shifting to a subscription-only model and support for ColdFusion 2021 ending in 2025, now is the time to evaluate your options. Whether you want to stay on Adobe ColdFusion, migrate to Lucee, or reduce costs through smarter hosting, WRIS is here to help you make the right move.
Understanding the ColdFusion Landscape
Adobe ColdFusion continues to be a strong platform for enterprise applications. But recent updates are pushing teams to reassess:
- ColdFusion 2025 moves to a subscription-only licensing model, eliminating the perpetual license option.
- ColdFusion 2021 reaches the end of core support on November 10, 2025, with extended support through 2026.
- Older apps may face compatibility issues as deprecated features are removed in new versions.
These changes don’t require a one-size-fits-all response — but they do require a plan.
