Для просмотра ссылки Войдиили Зарегистрируйся was just released today! For some users, you may have trouble getting RAD Studio installed due to license failures. One way of solving this issue was Для просмотра ссылки Войди или Зарегистрируйся by Marco Cantu.
His directions were simple:
Note: I am using a named network license, so the 'Update' option is disabled for me in the image above, but it should be enabled for most users.
The install is currently failing for me when using a network named license (via the 'Import' option above on a new machine.) I'll update this blog post whenever I get my copy of RAD Studio 11 installed. Send me a note on Twitter or LinkedIn if you get a solution before I do!
BLOG POST UPDATE 1: A simple work-around for some is to simply Delete and Re-Import the existing license in License Manager. This is known to have worked for some users.
BLOG POST UPDATE 2: Thanks to a suggestion from Uwe Raabe, I finally did get my network license to work correctly. I had to re-host the license on the ELC server by using the manual method. On the License Hosting screen in your ELC server instance, instead of using the "Host Licenses" button, use the "Web based License Hosting" option as pointed out in the image below. After clicking this link, you will need to logon using the credentials as originally provided in your network license certificate email and not your normal EDN credentials. (Note: you may want to change the protocol to HTTPS as it is using HTTP by default.) Once logged on, you will be presented with a list of the license certificates that have been issed to your account. Click the 'Host' link on your desired certificate and confirm the next two pages and download your license .zip file. (Note: follow the readme in the .zip and copy the file to the conf folder of your ELC server install. I also extracted the contents of the .zip to the conf folder...in my case, the full path for this conf folder is: C:\Program Files\Embarcadero\ELC5.33\LicenseCenter\conf)
Using the License Manager, I imported the .slip file from this manually downloaded .zip file on my workstation with success. (The .slip file from the .zip created from "Host Licenses" button just failed to work for me.)
