Delphi 10.1 Starter Edition free serial until 9 of SepTember

[Wiering]

Just installed Delphi Starter for the first time. That limited commercial use license is pretty worthless:

"Once your company's total revenue reaches US $1,000, or your team expands to more than 5 developers, move up to the Professional edition with an unrestricted commercial license."

So that is your TOTAL revenue, not just revenue from Delphi Starter (as I assumed at first). I'd think that a company that isn't able to make $1000 in a year is probably in trouble, at least in western countries.
And meanwhile you can get the complete Visual Studio 2017 Community for free if you make less than a million dollars.

BTW, those samples are boring. Back in the days of Borland, even the samples had gems. I remember using the TVEDIT demo as my default text editor for years after buying TP6.

Agree with Wiering that the starter licence is not very attractive but better than nothing I guess. Anyway I just successfully downloaded the Tokyo 10.2 starter version. Let's see if it can be useful.

Hi

Do you know if the Tokyo version have any advantages for gamedev users?

I don't know in general but Tokyo has some advantages for me personally. Tokyo can handle some of my ancient Delphi 3 code while Lazarus complains a lot over one of my ancient project. In other cases Lazauras is great and imports my old Delphi 3 code nicely.

What does Lazarus complains so much?

Actually I eventually managed to make the old software run on Lazarus too. So quite pleased now.

Nice to hear you overcame your problems
