Delphi won't run!

Question

When trying to run Delphi 7, I get this frightening message: Borland license information was found, but it is not valid for Delphi. You cannot run Delphi without this information. Click the exit button to exit Delphi.

Delphi was running fine this morning, then choked when I tried to load the project on which I'm currently working. I reinstalled Delphi from the original disk - same message. I have just done a system restore from a few days ago - same message.

HELP!

Answer 1

Try to delete file documents and settings\.borland\registry.slm (of course backup at first) and rerun Delphi

Answer 2

Contact their support. Go at www.embarcadero.com The last menu option is 'Services'. From there I'd would choose http://www.embarcadero.com/support

HTH

Answer 3

Don't even need the Internet archive version of my site ... the old URL should still work and forward to the current one...

Answer 4

1. Delete your registry.slm file from the .borland directory within your user's folder within documents and settings.
2. Run the D7Reg.exe file from within your Delphi7 Bin directory.
3. Follow the registration steps (you don't have to register now!)
4. All done. Open Delphi7 as normal.*

Using this 4 step program made my blood pressure drop to safe levels again.

Thank you very much.
