C++Builder Previous Versions

Build Native C++ Apps for Windows
10x Faster with Less Code

When you buy the latest version of C++Builder, you also get access to earlier versions of C++Builder at no extra charge. This is a cost-effective solution for development teams adding developers to support existing applications because you get the latest version plus access to the earlier versions that you need at no extra cost.

C++Builder 12 Athens includes access to previous versions

With the current version of C++Builder, you also get access to licenses for older versions:

  • C++Builder 6, 2007, 2009, 2010, XE, XE2, XE3, XE4, XE5, XE6, XE7, XE8*, 10 Berlin, 10.1 Seattle, 10.2 Tokyo, 10.3 Rio, 10.4 Sydney, 11 Alexandria

*For download and installation information of XE8 as a previous version, please refer to this support page.

No additional license serial number is needed to activate versions 10.3 Rio, 10.4 Sydney or 11 Alexandria. The serial number included in the license certificate will work with those versions.

This offer is not included in the C++Builder Pro Term Annual license

How to get your earlier version licenses and downloads

Named user licenses

  • Each serial number that also requires an older version license must be registered to a unique Embarcadero Developer Network (EDN) account that is associated with the intended end user of the product.
  • You must install and register your 12.0 serial number before you request the older version licenses.
  • You must request your older version licenses within 180 days of your purchase of the 12.0 product.
  • Your earlier version licenses will be tied to your user account and cannot be given away or sold. If your 12.0 license is an upgrade, you will not receive additional licenses for older versions that you already own.

Choose a link below to obtain earlier version licenses for your 12 Athens product:

  • Professional or Enterprise Edition
  • Architect Edition
  • If you purchased Network Named or Concurrent licenses, the older version licenses for versions 2007-11 Alexandria will be included as part of your network license. Each network license seat is a suite license that can be used to run one of the included versions at a time. You can find Previous Version Installer Keys Here once you receive your purchased license. Versions 10.x-11 Alexandria do not require installer keys.
  • Installers can be obtained from Registered Products Portal
  • C++Builder 6 is not available as part of the network licenses but on request you can receive one C++Builder 6 serial number per license purchased.
  • The C++Builder 6 licenses cannot be managed via the license server or used concurrently.
