Your Delphi “licensed to” might be totally different from what it is actually licensed to.
From [WayBack] Hello people, any idea what exactly mean …licensed to test ??? My Delphi is registered with a valid account, subscription, serial number and so on. – Dobrin Petkov – Google+, at least these sources might be used different from the actual licensee name:

When working with git, often the brevity of a solution is remarkable. Remembering how it can be so short is the hard part. An explanation why helps, for instance with [WayBack] git tag – How to delete a git remote tag? – Stack Overflow by markdorison.
He explains why you end up with:
git push --delete <origin> <tagname>
Here, <origin> is your remote, and <tagname> the tag to delete.
He explains other ways, which is done by [WayBack] gist.github.com/mobilemind/7883996 as well:
| # delete local tag '12345' | |
| git tag -d 12345 | |
| # delete remote tag '12345' (eg, GitHub version too) | |
| git push origin :refs/tags/12345 | |
| # alternative approach | |
| git push –delete origin tagName | |
| git tag -d tagName |

A few days after filing <path> disappears from "Preview" rendering and also from actual rendering (at least in issues), I realised that this is by intent: Markdown allows to [WayBack] inline html which means that code like below will be all treated as such:
<path> > <path> *<path>* **<path>** > *<path>* > **<path>**
The solution is to either escape or quote with back-ticks:
`<path>` > `<path>` *`<path>`* **`<path>`** > *`<path>`* > **`<path>`**
Since WordPress also is based on pseudo-HTML codes, it too needs escaping.

[WayBack] SQL Server Downloads | Microsoft
Get started with Microsoft SQL Server downloads. Choose a SQL Server trial, edition, tool, or connector that best meets your data and workload needs.
Downloading offline installers is the same for both: run the .EXE, then choose to download off-line media.
This is much easier than subscribing to Visual Studio Dev Essentials below.
Then depending on the edition, make the choice:

Two very important quotes of a must-read article (reading of it takes ~5 minutes):
- Teams create the most value for customers when they know the difference between customer needs and struggles
- If we align our mental model to needs, we are missing opportunities to solve the underlying struggles in innovative ways.
