[DUG] Current Registrations

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 allowed you to freely enjoy your purchase, and I
remember using my own D7 in that state at one time, but subsequently/more
recently it didn't seem possible (either my memory was playing tricks on me,
and other people, or they changed something in an update maybe).

iirc with Delphi 2010, at least and possibly earlier versions, if you do not
activate you get dumped straight back out... no grace period.
