In the past the Borland "no nonsense" license allowed one developer to do multiple installs.
I'm tempted to upgrade to Embarcadero RAD Studio XE, professional edition, but am worried about licensing restrictions, and whether it will allow me to work in the same way as before.
I downloaded a 30 day trial, and that will only allow one install, so I'm a bit concerned the upgrade would enforce a similar restriction.
I use a small and a large laptop and a PC and would like to install RAD Studio on all 3, as well as in VMs. I've posted a question asking about this on the vendor website, but there's no response yet, and I wonder if people could answer from their own experience please?
I'd also be interested to know if the upgrade will only run if there is an existing installation of an earlier product on the same machine.
Yes, you can legally install Rad Studio on more than one machine, as long as you are the only user. I'm specifically talking about the named user license.
Check the section titled "Installing the product on multiple machines" here.
Yes you can, and you do not need to have a previous version installed. I use it on several machines myself.

We need to support and update the old but still perfectly working project written many years ago using Borland C++Builder 6 Personal. No new significant development is expected. Switching to RAD Studio is taking much more effort than just keep using the old stuff.
Is there any option to legally purchase Borland C++Builder or whatever, but register and keep using the old stuff?
Is there any option to legally purchase BCPP Builder or whatever but register and keep using the old stuff?
Not directly, no. The old products are long dead. They are no longer sold or supported.
However, if you purchase the latest RAD Studio version, you can get licenses for old versions, including C++Builder 6. See the following page for more details:

When i compile a new project in Delphi 7 IDE , then i scan using http://www.virustotal.com my Delphi Project identifies it's ivected 8 Virus:
I reinstall my Windows OS and check my PC Hardisk using Dual Boot Linux Ubuntu but i can't find virus on my PC.
Please help me :'(
I checked on the name of one of the reported viruses in your screen shot and came up with this description from McAfee:
This software is not a virus or a Trojan. It is detected as a "potentially unwanted program"
(PUP). PUPs are any piece of software that a reasonably security- or privacy-minded computer
user may want to be informed of and, in some cases, remove. PUPs are often made by a
legitimate corporate entity for some beneficial purpose, but they alter the security state
of the computer on which they are installed, or the privacy posture of the user of the
system, such that most users will want to be aware of them.
It lists aliases for this from other virus detectors, and the list includes "PUA.Win32.Packer.BorlandDelphi" from clamav. I think that may be the answer. Are you compressing your exe? Regardless, this has to do with some characteristic of the Delphi-generated EXE file and not an actual virus or trojan.
Is your program using the Indy library? Some virus scanners had signatures including Indy code because there were Trojans that used it.
I see two possibilities:
This is a false positive. Your program is doing something that looks like virus behaviour. Only you can tell what your program does.
This is a re-infection of the executable you just compiled.
If you have anti-virus software on your computer and other executables are clean, it must be case 1.
What surprises me is why you would upload your program to Virustotal. What's the reason for that? Did something happen that you have not told us?

We use Delphi 2010 for development, and are looking to incorporate SFTP and pgp encryption into a inbound and outbound file transfer process. Particularly looking for a command line solution that can be integrated into a job script process we have. Does anyone know of two good free solutions we may try?
Are PGP Freeware 6.5.8 (SDK 1.7.x) or PGP 7.0, 8.0 (SDK 2.x) the best options?
I'd recommend SecureBlackBox. It supports SFTP, FTPS, OpenPGP, and quite a few more. It seems a little expensive (prices vary; they have a price calculator page based on which packages you want and how you want to license it for development - there's no run-time licensing costs, just to be clear), but they're pretty easy to use, come with full source (at least in the edition we have), and the documentation and samples seem pretty thorough. They could easily be used to build a non-GUI or console app that you could integrate however needed with your build process.
I'm not affiliated in any way with Eldos, the developers of SecureBlackBox - just a customer through my job.
Chilkat has a suite of components which could be useful for you

I have been at RAD Studio XE2 World Tour here in Poland in Cracov and I really love new features, so Im almost sure, Ill buy it. But now I downloaded trial version and I want to ask about two things:
Firstly: What can I do with it? I mean - can I build for example one free application and distribute it over Internet? It would be freeware application written within these 30 days. License is quite long and I cant find restrictions like that.
Secondly: If I install this trial anything bad can happen to my Delphi 2009 (Professional)? I have a lot of IDE experts, additional components, important projects etc etc - I dont want to lose anything. In short - is it better to install it on VM?
You are not allowed to distribute applications or components written with the trial edition of Delphi.
I've installed 'full' XE2 onto a VM which already had Delphi 7 and Delphi 2010 on, and haven't seen any adverse effects over the last couple of days. All 3 environments appear to get along fine, as has long been the Delphi tradition.
Once I get a chance I'll stick it on my 'main' development VM, which is currently Delphi 2007.
However, I don't know about the trial version aspect of it. I wouldn't expect it to behave any differently but if you're concerned about your production/work environment, I would strongly suggest that you isolate your trial explorations to a VM... - just to be safe. :-)

Using the TFS build server without VS 2008 Team System Tester Edition installed - is it possible to run a series of webtests as part of a build?
I know that Webtests can only be recorded using the Tester Edition of VS. Here's a post about this from Jeff, back when he was at Vertigo.
I'm just trying to run the tests, though. Does that require the Tester Edition of VS to be installed, as well?
You don't have to have the tester's edition; the Developer Edition works, as long as you can code and run those tests locally.
I believe with the standard MSDN license, if you have Developer Edition, you can run a single build server with a copy of it. There might be some extra limitations, such as who can run builds on the server; you should review your license agreement to see if there are any issues.
