    So, if I dropped a couple of grand for Delphi XE8 Enterprise when it was released, but did not opt for Update Subscription, I would not be entitled to the vast majority of those fixes?

    Kevin Powick Incorrect I believe - You would not be entitled to any of those fixes (is my understanding).

    So you buy a product that is faulty and then "have" to pay for it to be fixed?

    Richard Mace Pretty much yes.

    Richard Mace  It's an indirect way of forcing you to buy a subscription. It would be better though if EMB simply removed the normal license option, because it is useless, and it just results in angry or frustrated customers like you.

    Updates to major released version you owned never previously cost anything.  E.g. if you bought (say) XE then its service packs/fixes are implied being available to you as they are fixes to what you already own. Are you guys sure this has changed?  Reference please?  Edit: I see it says "Subscription Update 1" ... hmmm... if that really means subscription only then that's really not on.

    this is nothing new, its been strongly encouraged to be on SA/update subscription for a couple of years now

  13. Walter PrinsJune 19, 2015 at 12:58 AM

    Strongly encourage should not mean effectively making the other options essentially non-viable.  If EMB continues to sell non maintenance release based software licences, then those should continue to be sold in a way which allows one access to fixes for that major release.  Having at least one and sometimes more updates for a major release is almost an inevitability, so not allowing non-maintenance based buyers access to service packs seems tantamount to a bait and switch.

    I've said it before, they really should include a year of subscription in the initial purchase price.

    Asbjørn Heid I'm pretty sure that will come very soon.

  16. Dalija PrasnikarJune 19, 2015 at 1:44 AM

    Asbjørn Heid They should stop selling anything without subscription included.

  17. Dalija PrasnikarJune 19, 2015 at 1:57 AM

    Bit of warning for people that may have been on subscription but it has expired in the meantime. It looks like you would be able to download and install Subscription Update 1, but you will not be able to use it, so you would have to reinstall original XE8 again. https://forums.embarcadero.com/thread.jspa?threadID=116015&tstart=0

    well , even though I recently purchased an update subscription,I now get an error about it has expired, and so I cant now use XE8 after installing update 1 (I do know that after updating my SA the date of exipiry never did update). Help

  25. Michael TroulisJune 19, 2015 at 11:08 AM

    I had the same problem. I fixed by running the license manager and clicking on Update. Hope this helps.

    BTW,  open licensemanager.exe from the bin directory (C:\Program Files (x86)\Embarcadero\Studio\16.0\bin)

  26. Brian HamiltonJune 19, 2015 at 11:35 AM

    Horácio Filho They want you to buy fixes when XE9 comes. What a crazy company.

  32. Horácio FilhoJune 22, 2015 at 3:10 AM

    José Ramírez​ I think we will fix the bugs related to PPL at the same time that they introduce Task Continuation and Cancellation Token features :D

    so far XE8 update 1 for me is much better IDE stability wise with a  large FMX project....just going through and compiling it...tspinbox and tedit now needs FMX.EditBox, FMX.SpinBox added to uses I see

    Another change I just found:  memo1.AniCalculations.AutoShowing:=false;
    is now not allowed ...protected.....using that, it made the scroll bars show...maybe that is now done anyway
