programmatically determine the edition of RAD Studio 12.3

[dmitrybv 5]

Hello,
How can I programmatically determine the edition of RAD Studio 12.3?
In the registry key Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Embarcadero\BDS\23.0, there is no value named Edition.
I have the same question regarding RAD Studio 11.3 and 10.4.

GetRTLVersion would be my guess.

The actual values appears to be undocumented though - but here's an unofficial list to get you started: https://delphidabbler.com/notes/version-numbers

1. RTLVersion and RAD Studio Edition (Professional, Enterprise, Community Edition) are different concepts. 
2. RTLVersion for RAD Studio 12.3 cannot be called from an external program.

Oh - You meant what version of RAD Studio is installed on the local system.

 

I think the InstalledUpdates registry key is the closest you can get. There's no guarantee that it's valid though since it's only informational.

I don't have an answer but the edition is in the license. And I don't think there is a public API to read it.

But if you run ddc32 with different small projects the messages can tell you something about this.

There is this small component I use for ages (CEVersionInfo) that takes the version info from the Delphi IDE. (Menu-Projects-Project Options-Version Info)

In the IDE I put the Delphi version name into the "Comments" field and in the program source you can use it just like: "myEdit.Text:=CEVersionInfo.Comments" 

 

I've searched the web for the component but only saw some sites where I didn't dare to click to..

I'm willing to publish the source because there is no copyright involved and it is quite small code.

 

It can take the following info fields:

  FCompanyname      :='<info not available>';
  FFileDescription  :='<info not available>';
  FFileVersion      :='<info not available>';
  FInternalname     :='<info not available>';
  FLegalCopyright   :='<info not available>';
  FLegalTradeMarks  :='<info not available>';
  FOriginalFilename :='<info not available>';
  FProductName      :='<info not available>';
  FProductVersion   :='<info not available>';
  FComments         :='<info not available>';
  FMajorVersion     :='<info not available>';
  FMinorVersion     :='<info not available>';
  FRelease          :='<info not available>';
  FBuild            :='<info not available>';

As this information might be useful I added TAEIDEVersion.Edition and TAEIDEVersion.ExecutableVersion to my installed version / instance detection component. Tested with TAEDelphiVersion, seems to return correct values.
