@Lajos Juhász , @Lars Fosdal Thank you, not pursuing ini file config any further.

[Embarcadero License Management] RootDir=${MODULE_DIR}\.. LicenseDir=${ROOTDIR}\License InfoDir=${COMMON_APPDATA}\Embarcadero\.licenses SlipDir=${COMMON_APPDATA}\Embarcadero\ RegExe=LicenseManager.exe LockType=5 [Embarcadero Serial Numbers] [Embarcadero SLIP Files] SLIPFile= @Lajos Juhász any different?

@Lajos Juhász what about "LockType"? i tried varying those in hope to bypass the activation wizard with common value like 0, -1 or 255 (mine is 5)

There's also this error message "missing or unset registration wizard initialization parameters" when I'm accessing rad studio's EXEs, and there's no RAD studio instances running on the background, so they're accessing common file/registry, that's how I came in with checking config files.

@Lars Fosdal, there's this property in the .ini "SLIPFile", that is left empty. i suspect that's where the license file/path should be when the activation is done correctly. There's previous answer mentioning "Controlled Folder Access", so i thought the issue is about access right (when installing on the unsupported OS), so I start checking for irregularity and find that blank property. either way I'm stuck. @Cristian Peța, yes the current community edition is delphi 11, i think the Delphi editor and IDE are packed inside the RAD studio 11, which is blocked by the activation issue

Does anybody have an example of the correct and activated cglm.ini file? I noticed that the activation wizard has successfully generated the .slip file (what I thought to be the activation file, from inspecting said .ini). I suppose, the activation wizard also has to change the .ini file after finishing the .slip generation, but can't for some OS-specific reason, if the user could intervene I think the IDE can be unlocked. I'd experiment further with changing some variables in .ini file iteratively, but the community license has 3 times activation limit. Each experiment I perform on the assembly ends up corrupting the licenseManager state so I have to re-activate each time (the server counted it as an activation attempt), so it's faster if anyone could help with the .ini file. Thanks in advance.
