I have a serious problem right now.
As a freelance developer I am maintaining a very large project (500.000+ lines of code) of my customer which was written in an old version of C++ Builder.
Years ago I purchased an Enterprise License of Borland C++ Builder 6 and that was the IDE I used to manage this project.
Every time when Windows is updated, C++ Builder required to be re-registered. The last couple of times this meant: Write an E-Mail to Embarcadero, beg for pardon, be nice, wait a couple of days until they increased the Registration maximum.
This time they refused this... WHAT.THE.HELL?
Embarcadero is literally killing their own customers, for absolutly no reason!
What can I do in such a situation?
Upgrade is not an option, the project is far too large (I have several newer licenses of Borland/CodeGear/Embarcadero C++ Builder and have already tried a migration).
Is there a way to purchase a version of Builder6 that does not require this online registration? Or are there any other work arounds?
regards, Herwig
