Ich zitiere einfach mal aus dem verlinkten Blog-Eintrag:
Zitat:
If you want to build client/server database applications using Delphi Professional, you will be required to purchase a “Client/Server Add-On” pack.
This goes beyond the fact that you do not get (or can otherwise use or install) client/server drivers for the DBExpress or other “built in” data
access frameworks, but extends even to 3rd party data
access technologies.
That is, whatever you may be able to do or achieve – technically – using some 3rd party component or library with you Delphi Professional compiler, you cannot legally create a client/server application.
Never mind any 3rd party components or libraries, this same prohibition will apply even if you are using naked, unadorned Microsoft
ADO.
Da steht aber auch:
Zitat:
It is worth mentioning that this will apply to new licensees only. That is, if you have a current XE2 or XE license and upgrade to XE3 (or presumably are on SA), then your rights (or rather the lack of any restriction in this area) from those prior EULA’s in this area will roll forward.
Andererseits aber wieder:
Zitat:
So if your existing application is already client/server, and you need additional Delphi licenses for new team members, then from now on you are forced to purchase Enterprise licenses.
Ich hoffe, ich habe keine wichtige Stelle ausgelassen.
