Yes - so to answer another question which I think you are implying - 
which is when will it turn up on my doorstep? The answer is that the 
current process in Codegear (via Borland) takes between 6 and 8 weeks to 
complete. The *alternative* is to change your SA to Electronic Delivery 
in which case you will get the key and link to the download within a 
week (I understand) of RTM. *How* you do this I don't know, I have a 
question in to Support.

So even if your SA expires before you get the product (and for some 
reason you don't renew), if it expires after the release date of the 
product, you will still receive it.
