C++Builder XE2 Starter

C++Builder® XE2 Starter is a great way to get started building high-performance C++ applications for Windows. C++Builder Starter includes a streamlined IDE, code editor, compiler, integrated debugger, two-way visual designers to speed development, hundreds of visual components, local connectivity with the InterBase database, and a limited commercial use license. Starter edition features include:

• Develop 32-bit Windows application using the C++Builder VCL and FireMonkey application platform
• IDE and visual development environment
• Hundreds of included components
• License for use until your individual revenue from C++Builder applications or company revenue reaches $1,000 US or your development team expands to more than 5 developers

If you're an individual you may use Starter Edition to create apps for your own use and apps that you can sell until your revenues reach $1,000 per year. If you're a small company or organization without revenue (or up to $1,000 per year in revenue), you can also use the Starter Edition. Once your company's total revenue reaches US $1,000, or your team expands to more than 5 developers, you can move up to an unrestricted commercial license with a specially priced Professional edition license. See the C++Builder Starter page for more information and additional FAQs.
