With Delphi 6 you could simply continue to use the installed software in an “unactivated”/unregistered
state. As long as your licenses are all in order for each installed instance I
would see no problem with that state of affairs.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

(or I should say complete lack of) on the Borland/CodeGear/Embarcadero
Developer Network account site, I would count yourself lucky that you are still
using Delphi 6 and are thus able to manage your licenses in “the real world” in
this way rather than having them trapped in the “virtual world” of the license
management system.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
