I have some bad news for C++ users. As I told before, initial work for C++ Builder has been started, but my main problem lays somewhere else. I only own licenses for C++ Builder 2007 and 2009. I also hold and active SA for Delphi Enterprise. I contacted Embarcadero to upgrade my SA plan from Delphi to RAD Studio. I was hoping that it be done for a reasonable price, however instead of upgrading my SA plan, Embarcadero is asking me to take a regular upgrade path from Delphi to RAD Studio. This path will cost 2000€.
I was speculating that I could pay only the price difference between Delphi SA and RAD Studio SA which is around 250€, but Embarcadero doesn't allow this. Unfortunately, I can't spend 2000€ right now just to get C++ builder. This means all activities on C++ side will be frozen until I find a solution to licensing issue.
I will also consider buying an upgrade license for C++ Builder Pro, but I don't know the downsides of using Pro version yet. Does Pro version include full source code + command line compiler?
I will post when there are news regarding this.
