Well, I try again to make explain my view of the situation:
when we ordered a 3 year support contact in 2021, the TC support was Delphi 10.4 at the newest version. We used TC since 15 years and always the newest Delphi (+ 3rd parties) versions were supported. Now since 2021, no new versions of the Delphi are officially supported = a gap of 3 years!

Anyhow, I can understand that the small Delphi market is not of any interest for SmartBear. But there should be a solution for existing customers (under support contract)!
As a last solution I suggested, to make the TC plugins for Delphi opensource. It looks, as these plugins are BPL based and therefore can be debugged during a TC run (to trace down our x64 specific problem).
