[DUG] Current Registrations

[Jolyon Smith]

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 eventually).

 

Ø  Every version since gives you 30 days use before requiring activation.

Is there some trick to getting the grace period?  Because this doesn’t fit
my experience.
