Hi Malcolm You might have meant to reply off list (that reply for gets people all the time!) but since it seems fairly benign content wise I'm replying on list for now. That was Delphi 2007 Enterprise, electronic download version I think. Looks like the registration limit was set to 5 and

so long as Delphi keeps working for 30 days without registration! I'm pretty sure it hasn't allowed unregistered/unactivated use for some versions now. Delphi 6 was the last time you didn't have to get permission to use something you legitimately own in order to use it. Delphi 7 reportedly

Delphi 7 doesn't require activation. Every version since gives you 30 days use before requiring activation. On 03/12/2010 11:17 AM, Jolyon Smith jsm...@deltics.co.nz wrote: so long as Delphi keeps working for 30 days without registration! I'm pretty sure it hasn't allowed

I believe Jolyon is correct, I can confirm there is no grace period for D2006. A while ago one of our developers left and we hired a new developer, installed and registered D2006 on a new PC. After every few weeks (sometimes as short as 2 weeks) he would be shut out of Delphi unless we

Ø Delphi 7 doesn't require activation. As I said, that was my recollection, but when I tried to use it most recently I found that my recollection was wrong (or, as I said, that something else had changed in the meantime – all I know is, I did have to register it, either at the outset or

From memory you select cancel in the activation dialog. Another dialog shows, dismiss it and then if no previous installs of the version have been detected you should see the splash screen and it will say something like Unregisted 30 days remaining in red. I might install on a vm tonight and

Aha. This may be the key: Ø if no previous installs of the version have been detected I think in most recent cases, a trial version has been installed initially, for a “look-see” at the new release, prior to installing the full version. I can also only presume that trial versions of
