In order to test it correctly with all the versions of Delphi/BCB that I support, I would like to know if there's anywhere I could get a hold of these old versions, or at least some evaluation versions. Any ideas? Thanks! Jonathan Neve.

Isn't there even a place where I could download previous evaluation versions? I'm not intending to use these product for any actual development, just for testing. Thanks! Jonathan Neve.

Any ideas? Actually, I just remembered... I _do_ have an evaluation version of Delphi 6, but I couldn't install it because it wanted me to register, but the link on the Borland site was broken. Does anyone know if there's a work-around? Thanks! Jonathan Neve.

Note that evaluation versions may be slightly different.

I guess there's little point persuing that route then... I guess I'll have to try ebay... Ok, thanks for your help! Jonathan Neve.

The real life problem arises when the company using for example Delphi 7 as a main development tool has a need to hire few more programmers and give them tool (i.e. Delphi 7) they are supposed to use. Notice, that converting an application to the newest version of Delphi is not always a reasonable option. Buying Delphi from secondary sources like ebay when you don't really know the status of what you are buying is (IMHO) not a serious proposal (choice) Borland is giving to its clients. My opinion is that there should be some way left for the clients to buy "outdated" software licenses directly from Borland or from its resellers. What are your thoughts ?

I'm not intending to use these product for any actual development, just for testing. You'd want to test with the full version anyway. The Delphi trial is a different build that is not the same as the purchased version.

What are your thoughts ? My thoughts are two: 1. The point you made is totally different from what was asked. ;-) 2. I'm in complete agreement about the old licenses. They ought to be for sale. -- Nick Hodges -- TeamB Lemanix Corporation -- http://www.lemanix.com Read my Blog -- http://www.lemanix.com/nick Back to top Jonathan Neve Guest Posted: Mon Jul 25, 2005 6:47 am    Post subject: Re: Old versions of Delphi and BCB Nick Hodges [TeamB] wrote: Quote: Look into joining the BTP program. http://www.borland.com/partners/become/technology.html I was thinking of that, and I think it would definitely be a good idea. However, from looking at the application form, it seemed that I would need to already be commercialising the product. Is that right? Currently, I haven't started selling it yet (though I'm about to), do you think it would be possible to become a BTP anyway? Thanks! Jonathan Neve.
