Article #29064: A Better Way to End the Endless Registration Loop when Trying to Register Delphi 6

Synopsis: Delphi is prompting to register the product. After registering the product the an error message is displayed to register the product again. Further attempts to register the product are unsuccessful.

Solution: There is an alternative method to resolving the registration loop, which doesn't require D6RegClean and a repair of Delphi. Instead you can preserve your current installation by removing three registry keys and registering once more.

The registry keys can be removed using the RegEdit tool, Start | Run | RegEdit. The Keys to remove are listed below:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Borland\Delphi\ 6.0\LM
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Borland\Delphi\ 6.0\LMLIC
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Borland\Delphi\ 6.0\LMKEY
