Article #27980: Problems registering Kylix

Question:

Why are my codes not being accepted? Why am I being asked to register again after I've already installed and registered Kylix?

Answer:

This most often occurs when Kylix (any edition) has previously been installed on the same machine. Here are some suggestions:

  • Don't paste codes — type them in.
  • If you installed Kylix as root, and are running as root or a user:
          Rename your $HOME/.borland directory to $HOME/.borland.bak (or just delete it).
          Start Kylix.
          Register the Software again (you should still have your serial number, authorization key and registration code).

  • If you installed Kylix as a user:
          Remove 'registry.bin' file from $HOME/.borland directory.
          Start Kylix.
          Register the Software again.

    If the previous suggestions fail then run the 'locale' command on your console window. If you have the default locale setting:
       LANG=POSIX
       LC_XXX=POSIX
       LC_ALL=POSIX, C or blank

    then, could you try to set 'en_US' to your locale settings (or whatever you locale may be). To do this enter the following in a console window:
       export LANG=en_US
       export LC_ALL=en_US

    then, use 'locale' command again to verify that the settings are correct.

    Other notes:
    Different installation locations won't help since the registration information are always stored in the same place /home//.borland or /root/.borland.

    You will have to register the Software for every machine you install Kylix on, and for every user who runs Kylix on a machine.
