Initially in order to evaluate, I installed the trial version of DBISAM v 4.30 in to Delphi XE

We then purchased the full version and I installed in to XE.
We have had an ongoing problem since then.

The first time I open the project, I receive the message
 "Thank you for evaluating this trial version of DBISAM for Delphi and C++Builder. Use of this trial version in distributed applications is strictly prohibited."

I have
 - Uninstalled the Trial Version
 - Uninstalled, then resinstalled the Std version a couple of times
 - blown away the project files and dcus, and completely rebuilt

The message still appears the first time I open the project. Currently, it is just annoying. It doesn't seem to do what it threatens ( I can distribute the executable without any messages coming up), however, it's an annoyance I want to get rid of

Is there any reason why this would keep coming up and how do I stop it ? Is there another level of registration that I need to do ?
.. and where is it coming from ? I have looked through the registry and done text searches on all the dbisam files and can't find it.

Tim,

Sounds like you've done the right steps.

I have not used the trial but i believe it does not come with dcus but just with runtime packages so you might have enabled it to build with dbisam runtime package - check under project->options->runtime packages as well as it might refer to delphi trial runtime package still.


Fore reinstall of regular version i personally like to always remove the package from delphi manually and then do an uninstall (for all components):
- Components->Install Packages) and then remove the dbisam package
- uninstall using the uninstaller
- remove the folder
- search and remove any dbisam related bpl files (dbsiam.bpl)

Then reinstall regular version.

I think the trial version uses runtime packages so in project options make sure the

This indicates that you still have the trial design-time package installed
in the IDE.  Normally, the installation will remove these during the
uninstall, so I'm not sure why it didn't in your case.

Do the following in the XE IDE with your project open:

1) Uninstall all versions of DBISAM.

2) In the Component/Install Packages dialog, check for any trial DBISAM
design-time package in the list of installed packages.  If one exists, click
on it and make note of the path/file name under the list.  Then click on the
Remove button.

3) Close down the IDE, and then delete the design-time package at the
location noted in 2).

4) Install the normal version of DBISAM.

That should fix everything.
