This is imho an unconscionable business practice - either the licenses are perpetual or they expire when the subscription expires, embarcadero can't have it both ways. I can't imagine how many customers they have turned away with this practice - pretty much every delphi dev I have met has encountered this issue - several gave up and walked away from delphi because of this license insecurity. Some went back to D7 because they could always get their license to work. If a company is going to use node locked activation (which is what this is), then they have to provide a way to unregister/move/transfer licenses. It's not that hard.

The last time (Jan 2022) I requested a registration bump I was sent this: If you have not already, try emailing renewals with your request. They should assign it to Embarcadero EU, who should then contact you - try and get you to renew - then do the bump as requested. Or so I am told. I ended up not following through with my request as I copied the slip files from another machine, and renamed my machine to that machine (which I was retiring), and got my copies of D2007 and D10.1 working that way. This old SO question still applies, as far as I know: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/34451575/reinstalling-windows-without-re-registering-delphi

I had the same problem a few years age, and now consider Delphi ransomware. When it happened, I was just going to go back to D7 but that license (CodeGear) would not work either. I ended up buying a new license (Pro version). I was contacted by a new Embarcadero rep when the renewal came due and found that the majority of the renewal price was premium support $500.00 I think, so now I just pay the $400.00 ransom each year. Shame on you Embarcadero!

Recently I had to solve a similar issue. I solved it by spying the IDE file activity using ProcessMonitor (https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/procmon). ProcessMonitor is a free tool which can display all file - among others - activity. Create a filter with the name of the module the IDE don't find and you'll get the list of folder where the IDE look for it.

FWIW, 11.2 is also: Begin Create Destroy Create Destroy End

There is currently a sasl-oauth branch in Indy's GitHub repo which adds new SASL components for using OAuth tokens with the POP3/IMAP4/SMTP clients. Yes, because each service provides their OAuth tokens in their own ways. So, outside of POP3/IMAP4/SMTP, you have to first obtain the tokens for the particular services you want to talk to, and then you can give those tokens to Indy for POP3/IMAP4/SMTP authentication.
