Request for assistance and improvements regarding offline installation of Delphi Community Edition Dear Delphi-praxis members, I am currently attempting to install Delphi 12.1 Athens Community Edition on an offline machine (windows), using a valid serial number obtained through registration. Embarcadero generate only as serial number, and need internet connexion to activage. Advanced methods can alternative process, like import reg *.txt *.lsip files. So, on a connected machine, setuped and activated, the License Manager confirms the license is activated and references a .slip file — however, no such file is present in the installation directory, nor is any .slip or reg*.txt file available for export. All network-related license actions in the License Manager are disabled (grayed out), including the option to extract a license for offline use. This makes it impossible to activate Delphi on a secure offline machine, despite having a valid license. I would greatly appreciate guidance on how to proceed with offline activation in this scenario, or access to a tool or portal that allows exporting the necessary license file directly from my Embarcadero account. Offline mode is supported despite : Offline Installer - RAD Studio Why offline installation matters Many developers and organizations operate in environments where internet access is restricted or prohibited for security reasons — including protection against network attacks, industrial espionage, and compliance with internal or governmental regulations. In such contexts, offline installation is not a convenience, but a necessity. To support these use cases, I respectfully suggest the following improvements for developpement solutions: Enable license file export from user accounts Allow users to generate and download .slip or reg*.txt license files directly from their Embarcadero account dashboard, without requiring a separate installation on a connected machine. Simplify post-installation component management Provide a standalone tool or documented method to download and install additional components (e.g. Android SDK, language packs, InterBase) after the initial installation — especially for offline systems that were originally set up for Windows-only development. Clarify and unify offline procedures Ensure that the documentation for offline installation applies clearly to Delphi Community Edition, not just RAD Studio, and includes step-by-step guidance for license activation and component setup. Sincerely,

Thank you for this confirmation, while regretting that it is not possible to activate your license offline.
