Embarcadero just called me saying I have exceed my maximum Delphi XE8 installs by and that they want to have an auditing at my company to make sure I'm not using pirated software.
Are they bullshitting me?
Can they really tell how many installations of Delphi I have in my network or are they just making up excuses to investigate us?
What can I do to not get sued out of the ass?
you're gonna get buttfucked OP

I say they're bullshitting me because they told me I have 10 illegal installs of XE8, there aren't even 10 delphi programmers in this company, its just 2 old dudes that still program in Delphi.

they might've counted reinstalls as seperate installs
>>51896937
did you seriously thing using unlicensed software in a company was a good idea ?
depending on how they are activated: yes, it's possible

seems very "professional"

I'm a professional photographer and there's not a single piece of software on my Mac that's legit. I'd rather save up and buy a new lens than waste money on software, besides its not like anyone would actually look into my installs to see what's under the about menu - photography is one of those non-professions that no one really cares about enough to audit.

> using delphi
> actually using delphi
Sure I'd like 1/10th the convenience of a modern programming language for $4000 per install.

Without the adobesuite you wouldn't even be a photographer, lol
>>51897486
Nice try, Adobe.
>>51896937
XE2 simply wouldn't activate with extra installs on the same key. Seems that Embarcadero went all-happy merchant on its customers now.
Still, top fucking lel for using Delphi in 2015
