What are the list of all possible values for DVCLAL?

Question

I was reading SysUtils when I came across with this function:

function ALR: Pointer;
var
  LibModule: PLibModule;
begin
  if MainInstance <> 0 then
    Result := Pointer(LoadResource(MainInstance, FindResource(MainInstance, 'DVCLAL',
      RT_RCDATA)))
  else
  begin

After that, I searched what is DVCLAL and I've found this question.

What are all the possible signatures that Delphi compiler emits to the DVCLAL resource?

Answer 1

There is no official documentation on this, so here is something from my notes of 15+ years ago:

The DVCLAL is there to check which SKU of Delphi you are using and it varies per SKU.

There are only checks for the Professional (RPR) and Client/Server (RCS) SKUs:

procedure RCS;

procedure RPR;

If they fail, they call this method:

procedure ALV;
begin
  raise Exception.CreateRes(@SNL);
end;

where

resourcestring
  SNL = 'Application is not licensed to use this feature';

Depending on the feature matrix and Delphi version, various components call RPR and RCS in their Create constructors to guarantee a minimum SKU.
