I don't think it's possible, if you don't have an Embarcadero subscription.

And if you have it, I don't think that those packages are available anymore (most of them were not free).

Thanks 

and suggestions on how I should move forward With this?

I have the code

You can use the last edition released (Rad Studio 12.3 Athens)

But the packages are not free, and the code will have to be changed.
A 16 year leap (especially external packages) will be laborious and not cheaper.

 

I think that is better to talk with Embarcadero rappresentative and explain the situation, they can redirect you to a professional developer.

Of course some member of this community can help you, but I think they can contact you in private.

 

You will provide them more information about the application and your knowledge.

When you buy the latest version of Delphi, you also get access to earlier versions of Delphi at no extra charge.: https://www.embarcadero.com/products/delphi/previous-versions Delphi 2010 is covered by this.

 

A lot of third party component vendors do something similar for the same reason with older versions available in the registered users download areas. You may need to make a request or they might be there already.

I didn't know previous access was that far back, I thought it stopped at the XE version.

Did you ever try that? The biggest hurdle in updating any packages for a new Delphi version was moving from 2007 to 2009, where string changed from AnsiString to Unicode. But even that was easier than I expected for most components suites. With most packages you need to update some central include file and create new package projects. The source code will compile fine most of the time. Usually that takes at maximum an hour (but I have had cases where the Update took me several days due to some problems I introduced myself).

 

But this will only work if you bought the source code, which I have always recommended because you never know when some 3rd party vendor might go out of business. And you  won't get the latest features of course.

He requested a specific version, and I was not aware that it was still possible to obtain it. The fact that there are or not the source packages is irrelevant, he would not have made the request by listing them if he had them.
ALL my projects are updated to the latest distribution version (maybe not in zero time), rarely some that are archived and remain there as historical memory.
The fact that there is great backwards compatibility is a quality that has always been one of the main reasons linking with Delphi.
However, even if the biggest obstacle was the advent of unicode as a standard, there are many other reasons (and a lot of)  that push me to think that a project (or maybe more than one) with all those third-party packages is not so simply portable to the new version. But I have no information on this, so I can only assume (maybe I'm wrong).
