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.
