You can download the most recent help update from Borland's site, which you'd have to do with 2007 anyway, if you want to install it, I have a purchased copy of 2007, but I use 2007 lite
it's not a component but it's the Kernel32.dll API call you can use to get the serial number

here is a link to get you started

Thank you
Do you know if there is any downside to applying the update. Someone told me not to apply it becasue it will slow up my executables due to some changes in the compiler. Do you know it this is true?
