Re: [DUG]: Delphi 6 Registration
Its possible Sanctuary is down (the registration server). You DO need to be online to do it tho. All I can recommend is, try, try again :) Failing that, call Olivia on 09-3600231 and she shoudl be able to atleast provide some way for you to get your rego number via the phone/fax/email, tho I'm pretty sure she can't do it on the spot - yet. You are not required to register (this would be illegal), but you do get bugged everytime D6 starts up :( Nic. - Original Message - From: Eion McIntosh (CHCH) [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Multiple recipients of list delphi [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, July 11, 2001 11:07 AM Subject: [DUG]: Delphi 6 Registration Hi We have loaded D6 Pro this morning and have been trying to register it.

If that would be illegal, how come MS can do it with their activation stuff? And what happens if you don't have net access?

Re: [DUG]: Delphi 6 Registration
I dont know. All I know is, our lawyers threw up their hands and said you can't do that - if someone buys a product, they have to be able to use it, regardless. Maybe there's a class action suit there against MS :) If you dont have net access, you can call us (or the 0800# I think - its on the dialog), give us the number it generates, and we give you back a number (std challange response) and all is well.

Re: [DUG]: Delphi 6 Registration
yes, you get bugged about it around 1x per week, I think. JBuilder bugs you every time you load it. AFAIK, it doesn't grab your credit card, molest your cat, or any of the other things that the MS one is supposed to do - it just takes the key, and some form of finger print of your machine (maybe, I'm not sure about that even) and says add one to the install count for this key - if it hits 3, we get notified, I _think_ (not a lot of info has come out on it yet). then I guess we call you and ask you why you've installed 1 copy of d6 enterprise on 42 machines :) I would imagine that, to get update s(eg, delphi 6.01 :) ) you need to be registered. ;-) Big enough carrot for you? If anyone _is_ paranoid enough about it, I'll see what I can extract from the people in the US, but seriously, I dont think its an invasion of your privacy at all - just a way for us to monitor installs of the product (kinda) so piracy can be kept to a minimum, without using something like Macrovision SoftDisc (which was going to be used, until it was found to fail on around 50-60% of beta testers machines!).

Re: [DUG]: Delphi 6 Registration
Exactly. If you had to install Delphi 6 42 (or even 5) times, without reinstalling Windows, THEN I wanna know about it. Badly. That said, Windows XP does have a migration thing in it that allows you to repear ^H^H^H^H upgrade your machine without losing all your settings. Hell, is it just me, or does anyone else who's used XP think its a total waste of time? I have a Celeron 533 with 384meg and its SO DAMN SLOW. Windows 2000, OTOH, _flys_ on that machine (even running JBuilder :) ) and its stable as all hell. So, I'm sticking with windows 2000 and office 2000 until I have to upgrade. Even the usual free copy of XP (being a beta tester) is unlikly to move me over.

No, I havn't.
