TMS Dashboard download
Features
Search and Discover
Download Trial Versions
Manage Registered Products
You can:
- Install
- Update
- Uninstall
- Renew licenses
Full Access for all registered users
Full access is available to every registered user regardless of bundles. The TMS Subscription Manager was only available for products in bundles and subscriptions. With the TMS Dashboard, access is available as soon as you have a single product.
Automatic Installation of dependent products
Automatic installation of dependent products is a breeze. In the TMS Subscription Manager, you had to install the products in order, but with the TMS Dashboard, this is no longer necessary.

1) When TMS WEB Core will be enabled for Dashboard/Smart Setup?
2) Is it possible to install some previous version of the product. E.g currently we have version TMS Async 2.4.2.1 and for any reasons I have back to version 2.4.1.0 ... is it possible? On old TMS Subscription Manager I was able to do this.

To view the product documentation: Click on the product name which will open up the product page in a browser window. Then click on "Resources" and select "Documentation".
However, this is a good suggestion and we''ll look into adding a direct link to the documentation in the TMS Dashboard.

1) We plan to make TMS WEB Core available in Dashboard/Smart Setup soon. Unfortunately there''s no ETA available yet.
2) Currently it''s only possible to install the latest version of a product with TMS Dashboard. However this is a good suggestion and we''ll look into adding an option to install a previous version.

That would be really great!

Does this new tool address this issue? What is the solution to keeping my official version in Delphi 11 but installing a new trial version in Delphi 12 to evaluate the new feature etc..

Unfortunately it is currently not possible to install multiple TMS WEB Core versions simultaneously on the same machine. It is recommended to use a different machine for testing purposes.

Sadly, right not you SmartSetup doesn''t support webcore, so you can''t install trials or registered versions with it. But it is coming soon, see the video at https://www.tmssoftware.com/site/blog.asp?post=1309
About how to handle your situation when we support webcore:
1. This is kind of a "no-solution", but as you can see in the video linked above, smartsetup is *really* fast to install webcore. So you can just install 2.2, launch delphi 12 (or even 11), evaluate, then install 2.1.2 and keep working with your old version. As said, this is not really a solution, but I mention it because it works and it is really simple. I use this myself all the time. Smartsetup makes it so easy to install and unistall stuff that I am constantly doing so... it is addictive once you get used to it.
2. Now, for the real solution. This will require a little of configuration, and probably it is easier if I explain it with the command line. Both tmsgui and the dashboard we are showing here are just nice gui wrappers around the command line, but they are focused in the most common cases. What you will have to do is to create 2 different "tms folders". Let''s name "tms" the place where you have your real work, and "tmsplay" the folder where you will install the stuff to play with.
With the command line, you would do:
cd \tms
tms credentials
tms config
and then in the config file that opens, uncomment all delphi versions but delphi 11.
save the config, and do:
tms install tms.webcore
(or launch the dashboard, and point it to this folder and install from there)
That installed webcore in tms for delphi 11
Now install the trial of webcore in tmsplay. To avoid confusions we are planning to keep distributing the trials as setup.exe so they aren''t so easy to install by mistake, but internally they will be the same. So you install the trial in tmsplay, selecting only delphi12.
This is it. Now you have webcore registered for delphi 11 in c:\tms, and webcore trial for delphi 12 in c:\tmsplay. You will also be able to install to different registry keys, so you can install 2 different versions of a component both in Delphi11, and start delphi with different registry keys to use one or the other.
Final note: While we plan to support old versions (see question 2 from Czech Tomasz above), right now you need the old version bundle to install it, it won''t be automatically downloaded from our servers.
