Please enter a valid Embarcadero serial number message

[JohnLM 10]

Delphi 11.2,  Windows 7 Home Prem 64bit 

 

To my knowledge, this was the first time this has ever happened to me. 

 

When I opened a project from a window's folder by the .dproj file, I received this pop-up message, "Please enter a valid Embarcadero serial number" 

 

I tried opening other projects in this same way and received the same message.  I normally open projects through Delphi but I was searching my folders for a project and opened it this way.

 

Is this a known bug?

A .dproj file refers to a Delphi project but the error message says it’s looking for a C++ builder license.

I’m not sure what to do with this information though; is it possible that your file associations are off? You can reset all associations from the Tools menu somewhere, you can give it a try if Delphi is starting up without a project.
