I tried to register my personal license (I've been a customer for well over a decade) on a new desktop machine. I only use this license on one machine at a time. I've had no problems until today.

I'm being told that:
The registration limit for this serial number has been reached. For further assistance, please visit:
Embarcadero Support

So I go visit Embarcadero Support by clicking on the link.

First, the link is broken, and takes me to a 404 page.

So I fix the link (which was http://www.embarcadero.com/support/index.php, so I enter http://www.embarcadero.com/support/ which fixes it), and get to the support page.

Which gives me a list of things I can choose to get support on:

  • 3rd Rail


  • All-Access


  • AppWave


  • C++Builder


  • Change Manager


  • DBArtisan


  • DB Optimizer


  • Delphi


  • Delphi for PHP


  • Prism


  • DT Studio


  • CONNECT

  • ELC

  • ER/Studio Business Architect

  • ER/Studio Data Architect

  • ER/Studio Repo

  • ER/Studio Software Architect

  • ER/Studio Portal

  • ER/Studio Team Server

  • ER/Studio Viewer

  • HTML5 Builder

  • InterBase

  • JBuilder

  • J Optimizer

  • Performance Center

  • Performance IQ

  • RadPHP

  • Rapid SQL

  • RAD Studio



... so that's that broken, I guess.

So... how do I fix this? All I want is that when I'm using my shiny new desktop and NOT one of my laptops, I can use VAX, the same way I did for the last decade or so. I'm not trying to do anything funny.

Thanks for the details. I have forwarded the problems to the responsible parties.

Thank you very much guys. You are doing a great job here at forums.

Btw. I already contacted [email protected] but they are asking questions like what product and what version of product I am using instead of solving problems. They are definitely not improving my experience like you did.

Below is an excerpt from the email I sent to the above mentioned email address which describes how useless whole licensing web actually is. Have a nice day.

quote:
On page https://license.embarcadero.com/srs6/activation.do I can read that there is some problem. But

1) Link "Recover recent product activations for your license configuration." points to page https://license.embarcadero.com/srs6/archived.do?key=3830783 which states that: "Your most recent registration records are not available for display. Only registrations after 07-Jul-2007 are available." What?

2) Text "The registration limit for this serial number has been reached. For further assistance, please visit: Embarcadero Support" goes to http://www.embarcadero.com/support/index.php page where one can find ... well, actually 404 times nothing: "Oops! We can't seem to find the page you are looking for. Error code: 404"

3) Only working link is "View extended serial number details." but on https://license.embarcadero.com/srs6/archived.do?key=3830783 page there is no additional information nor working link except for "3 / 3 -- Warning: Max Registration count has already been reached."

Both of your registration limits have been updated. Again, sorry for the inconvenience.

I too apologize for the poor experience.

Are you seeing the bad links in messages from Visual Assist or on a website?
If from Visual Assist, what version of VA do you have installed?
If from a website, what is the URL that you originally went to?

Many apologies for these problems. Can you please contact licensing support by email at [email protected]

I second this post because I had exactly same expericence today. It is insane that after over decade of paying and sucessfully using this product we must solve this licensing s**t. Whole industy is moving forward but you are backing up into past century. I simply can not understand why are you fighting your paying customers?
