A while ago, around v5 of the SDK, there was a scheme where one had to pay for the ability to write servers in a given language while clients were available for free no matter what the language.
I have a current subscription for Delphi and am writing and maintaining services on a daily basis with them.
Today, in a an effort to disentangle us from Emb/Idera, we are moving over to C# for new projects that would have to connect to the existing services which use SuperHTTP/BinMessage and NamedPipe/BinMessage.
As we have no plans to rewrite our services, we don’t feel the need to purchase a full blown license for the SDK. Is there an option to get a “client only” assembly set? If yes, are these still free or is there a cost associated to it?
Remoting SDK is now a single SKU with all platforms. If you renew to the latest version, you’ll automatically get RO/Delphi and RO/.NET Servers, as well as Delphi, .NET, Cocoa, Java and JS Client support.
For a year or so now before that, we had the “Remoting SDK for Delphi and all Clients” SKU, that offered the same, just without the .NET server part (at the same price as the new SKU, iow just you get the .NET Server part at no extra charge, now)
Yes, time flies, it’s just amazing what gets accomplished in those years.
Anyway, I have renewed our subscription and now have access to the “Remoting SDK for Delphi and all Clients” SKU but I’m not sure it contains all that is needed to create a C# server.
I mean, despite checking Visual Studio integration, I do not have any RO related items in the menus or new item dialogs.
However, I have the C# for .Net generation in the service builder, so at least I can now write clients just fine.
That may well be. From that list, it looks like you purchased the Delphi a d all Clients ski, before we merged the, i.e. before 9.0? The next renewal will add .NET server support, then.
