Bart Kindt 5 Posted December 8, 2023 I installed RadStudio 12 while I still hade the Beta licence going, and I also activated C++. I was not aware that my *licence* does not cover C++ (I have never used it). Now I cannot start Delphi 12, because it says my licence does not cover C++. How to re change the installation to remove the C++ without having to wipe the entire installation (yet again) and have to completly start from scratch? Bart Share this post Link to post

FPiette 385 Posted December 8, 2023 When installing retail Delphi 12, the installer should have removed the beta version. Try running the installer again and select remove product (or similar item). Then reboot your computer. Then run the installer to install only Delphi. Share this post Link to post

Perhaps run $(BDS)\bin\LicenseManager.exe and remove your beta license if it's still listed? Share this post Link to post

When I run the ISO install again, I do not get any options, except that it is *required* that I un-install the 'current' version first. Which is the *same* version. Share this post Link to post

Nevertheless, uninstall that version completely and reinstall Delphi 12 personality only. Share this post Link to post
