EULA Change: No Client/Server in XE3 Pro. Not even 3rd Party.
[Estimated Reading Time: 3 minutes] I don’t enjoy posting this news. I really don’t. I had hoped that my next post would be a more positive report following the Auckland leg of the XE3 World Tour this morning (and that will come later today). But I feel this news is so important that it has to be mentioned, so here it is. From XE3 onwards, your Delphi Professional EULA will prohibit you from using Delphi Professional for anything other than local data access. If you want to build client/server database applications using Delphi Professional, you will be required to purchase a “Client/Server Add-On” pack.
