30 % and 35 % discount on Delphi

[dummzeuch 1505]

I just read about the special offer from code partners (for NZ, AUS and South East Asia only):

 

https://www.code-partners.com/rad-studio-10-3-3-released-and-a-special-offer-to-celebrate/

 

I wonder wether a similar offer is forthcoming for the rest of the world.

IIRC, Embarcadero Germany offers a 30% for discount Enterprise until the end of November, too. It wouldn't hurt to ask.

Over here i have a 45% quote. However... "valid for 12 months".

Now starting to use the Enterprise stuff... then after a year. Big bucks again. Slow fixing... et. al.

NO. I'll stick to Professional + my ecosystem of 3rd party reliable "dudes". Thank you but no thank you.

Found it:

https://www.embarcadero.com/de/radoffer

RAD Studio 10.3.3 Spezialangebot!

Kaufen Sie eine neue Version 10.3.3 von Delphi, C++Builder und RAD Studio und Sie sparen 10% bei Professional, 20% bei Enterprise oder 25% bei Architect

(Sorry for pasting HTML formatted, I'm on mobile and can't filter it out.)

 

So it's not as good as in Australia.

(And also not 30% but 20% for enterprise)

Well, you didn't actually ask them, did you?

No, i didn't (but I didn't ask Code Partners either). I'm also currently not interested in buying more licenses.

I just looked for a reseller in Germany. The one I used to buy from several years ago is edv-buchversand and they currently offer Delphi (haven't checked RAD Studio) even a bit cheaper  (€ 1.510,11 incl. taxes) than Embarcadero (€1,547.10 (probably also including taxes)).

 

OK, I'll stop the promotion now. 😉

Yesterday I got a (real paper!) mail from Embarcadero with this link: https://lp.embarcadero.com/blackweek2019de

Being on maintenance sort of makes these mails less interesting.

 

On the other hand - I am starting to wonder if we would be better off with the pure Delphi Enterprise, instead of the RAD Studio Enterprise. 

We don't use the C++ part, and since they dropped the .NET bits - there is little stuff of interest in RAD Studio.

 

I wonder if it is possible to downgrade?
