Die Community Editionen (CE) von Delphi und C++Builder ermöglichen es Einzelpersonen und Startups, ihre Visionen mit kostenlosem Zugang zu fortschrittlichen App-Entwicklungstools zu verwirklichen.
Die Community Editions sind die frei verfügbaren Editionen der jeweiligen Embarcadero IDEs mit eingeschränkten Lizenzen und einem Umsatzlimit für die Nutzung. Die aktuelle Edition, 12.1 Athen, ist auch als Community Edition erhältlich.
Nein. Es sind nur Delphi CE und C++Builder CE verfügbar. Wenn Sie an allen Funktionen interessiert sind, die RAD Studio zu bieten hat, einschließlich der gemeinsamen Nutzung von Delphi und C++ in einer einzigen IDE, können Sie eine kostenlose kostenlose 30-Tage-Testversion von RAD Studio Architect. Architect anfordern.
Die Community Edition ist eine großartige Möglichkeit für den Einstieg in die Entwicklung von Hochleistungsanwendungen. CE enthält eine voll ausgestattete IDE, einen Code-Editor, einen ultraschnellen Compiler, einen integrierten Debugger, visuelle Zwei-Wege-Designer, um die Entwicklung zu beschleunigen, und Hunderte von visuellen Komponenten.
Als Einzelperson können Sie die CE nutzen, um Apps für den eigenen Gebrauch zu erstellen und Apps zu verkaufen. Die CE unterliegt jedoch einer Umsatzgrenze und Einschränkungen in der Lizenzvereinbarung. Sie können es so lange nutzen, bis Sie eine Umsatzgrenze erreicht haben, ab der man vernünftigerweise erwarten kann, dass Sie eine normale Lizenz kaufen. Einfacher ausgedrückt: Wenn Sie Geld verdienen, kaufen Sie eine kommerzielle Lizenz; wenn nicht, verwenden Sie die kostenlose Lizenz.
Die allgemeinen FAQs für Delphi und C++Builder (nicht spezifisch für die Community Editions) finden Sie unter Delphi – FAQ und C++Builder – FAQ
Nein. Es kann immer nur ein Produkt installiert werden.
No. Delphi CE and C++Builder CE cannot co-exist with another product edition of the same version on the same machine.
Yes. Delphi and C++Builder are also available in Professional, Enterprise, and Architect editions. Learn more about the differences between the editions at Delphi - Produkteditionen and C++Builder Produkteditionen.
Yes, the project files are the same and can easily be opened.
The Community Edition aims to strike a reasonable balance between making a professional-level tool available for free, and requiring you buy it when reasonable.
Your use of CE is subject to certain restrictions stated in the Lizenzvereinbarung. We have summarized the restrictions applicable to CE throughout this FAQs.
For example, CE is both designed to allow individuals and startups to bootstrap their vision until annual revenues reach $5,000 at which point you are required to stop using the Community Edition and purchase a paid license to continue using either the Delphi or C++Builder.
If you're an individual developer you can use CE to create apps for your own use and apps that you can sell until your revenues reach $5,000 per year. For more information please read the Lizenzvereinbarung.
Use of CE in this context is subject to the restrictions summarized below and stated in the Lizenzvereinbarung. If you're an employee of a small company, governmental entity or non-profit organization with revenue or donations up to US$5,000 per year, you can use CE. Once the company's total revenue or donations reach US$5,000 per year or your team expands to more than 5 developers, you must buy an unrestricted paid commercial license.
Yes, subject to the following restrictions. You must download and use CE software on your own computer and not on company issued hardware. In addition, the revenue of all contract work performed by you in one calendar year may not exceed $5,000.00 (or the equivalent in other currencies) (the "Threshold") whether or not CE is used for all projects. For example, a developer who receives payment of $5,000.00 for a single project (or more than $5,000 for multiple projects) even if such engagements do not anticipate the use of CEn, is not allowed to use CE. Also, a developer building solely an app store application would not be allowed to use CE once the app store revenue reaches a revenue of $5,000 or more in a year.
No. Embarcadero offers several academic programs to accredited educational institutions that want to incorporate teaching with RAD Studio into their curriculum and/or make them available to students to use in their coursework. Qualifying educational institutions are eligible to receive discounted, and in some cases free, academic licenses. Contact our Sales team or your local Embarcadero representative to find out which program is best suited for your institution.
CE is a great choice for individual students to install on their personal machine for learning programming languages.
No. Embarcadero makes available a trial version of RAD Studio Architect editions, which allow users to try out all the highest level features of Delphi and C++Builder. You can see the differences in features by edition on the Product Editions web page and in the feature matrix. The Community Edition CANNOT be used as a trial version.
Yes, you can use CE to contribute to open-source projects as long as the rules on the revenue limit are respected.
Yes, as long as you don't install CE on an employer-issued device and/or within the company premises or network, and the use of CE doesn't benefit the company (i.e. your employer). Use of CE must be for personal purposes. If your use of CE benefits or is connected (directly or indirectly) to your employer, Embarcadero at its sole discretion will assume your use of CE is for the benefit of your employer, which is outside the scope of the Lizenzvereinbarung because your employer generates more than US$5,000 in revenue.
Yes. You can use CE to build apps that will be used by a non-profit organization provided your own cumulative annual revenue and/or the overall revenue (including any donations) of the non-profit organization that will be using the app is less than US$5,000 or the local currency equivalent. See Lizenzvereinbarung for details.
Yes. When you need to upgrade your edition (if you're no longer eligible for CE or require additional capabilities of higher editions), purchase the edition you need. You'll need to reinstall the commercial edition of Delphi or C++Builder, but you'll be able to save and maintain and use the code of projects created in CE in your new commercial edition.
Yes. You may sell any apps or components developed with CE under the CE license until your annual revenue exceeds US$5,000 or local currency equivalent, at which point you need to buy a commercial-use license. Please see the Lizenzbestimmungen.
Yes, subject the company total revenue doesn't exceed US$5,000 dollars or local currency equivalent. Putting another way. A Professional, Enterprise or Architect edition license is required for developing or deploying any apps or components within any company with total company revenues exceeding US$5,000 or local currency equivalent.
No. Apps and components built with CE may be distributed royalty-free. However, if you are selling your licenses and services built with CE, we require that you purchase a full commercial license when your revenue based on those licenses or services exceeds US$5,000 or local currency equivalent, or if your annual company revenue exceeds US$5,000 or equivalent. See Lizenzvereinbarung for details.
Yes. The Community Editions are meant for hobbyists, individual developers, and small teams doing limited commercial development, including pre-revenue startups. Companies or organizations with teams of more than five developers doing development are required to purchase a Professional, Enterprise or Architect edition license for each developer rather than using CE.
Die Laufzeit der Community Edition-Lizenz beträgt ein Jahr ab dem ersten Herunterladen oder der Freischaltung der Produkte des Lizenzgebers ("Community Edition Term") und läuft mit Ablauf der Community Edition-Laufzeit automatisch ab - die Community Edition-Lizenz wird nicht automatisch verlängert. Sofern Sie die Community Edition nach Ablauf oder Beendigung Ihrer Laufzeit der Community Edition weiter nutzen möchten, müssen Sie die neueste Version der Community Edition erneut installieren und mit den Bedingungen der zu diesem Zeitpunkt gültigen Vereinbarung einverstanden sein. Wenn der Lizenznehmer beispielsweise die Community Edition v1.0 installiert hat und nach Ablauf der Laufzeit der Community Edition beabsichtigt, die Community Edition weiter zu nutzen, muss der Lizenznehmer unter der Voraussetzung, dass der Lizenznehmer weiterhin die zusätzlichen Lizenzbedingungen und Einschränkungen der Community Edition einhält, die jeweils aktuelle Version der Community Edition-Lizenz neu installieren. Nach Ablauf der Community Edition Laufzeit darf alle mit der Community Edition Lizenz entwickelte Software weiterhin vom Lizenznehmer unter den Bedingungen und Einschränkungen der Lizenzvereinbarung vertrieben werden. Alle Einschränkungen und Bedingungen im Zusammenhang mit der Community Edition-Lizenz gelten auch nach Beendigung oder Ablauf der Laufzeit Ihrer Community Edition. Die Community Edition-Lizenz endet automatisch, wenn der Lizenznehmer gegen die in der Lizenzvereinbarung festgelegten Bedingungen verstößt.
Nein. Es sind nur Einzelbenutzerlizenzen verfügbar. Netzwerk- und personenungebundene Lizenzen erhalten Sie für die Professional Edition und für höhere Editionen.

No, access to earlier versions is only included with the Professional, Enterprise, and Architect editions, not with CE. The CE license is always valid for the most recent version.
Here are the key reasons for choosing Professional instead of the Community Edition:
- Unbefristete Lizenz (Community-Lizenz gilt für ein Jahr)
- Keine Beschränkung der jährlichen Einnahmen
- Update Subscription - Fehlerkorrekturen, neue Versionen, Zugang zu Betaversionen und vieles mehr
- Technischer Support
- Möglichkeit der Übertragung des Befehlszeilen-Compilers auf einen anderen Computer oder Build-Server
Remember per the Lizenzvereinbarung, you are required to purchase a Professional or higher edition when your annual revenues reach US$5000 or local currency equivalent, or when your development team grows to 5 or more developers.
CE installation is only supported through the web based GetIt installer, not the offline InstallAware installer. For paid editions, we provide two installation options, a web based installer, and an offline ISO installer.
Yes, database application development is a feature of Delphi CE and C++Builder CE. The Community Edition includes local and embedded database connectivity. Purchase Enterprise or Architect editions to build applications with remote (client/server, multi-tier) access to a wide range of databases including Microsoft SQL Server, Oracle, Sybase, SQL Anywhere, InterBase, DB2, Informix, MongoDB, MySQL and ODBC data sources.s
