I've just downloaded the hotfix and copied the files into the Program Files\Embarcadero\Studio\16.0 directory. I found that I also had to copy libmidas.dylib from Redist\iossimulator into Redist\osx32, otherwise I got an error about the wrong version of MIDAS when running the app on the Simulator.

I don't see the hotfix for XE8 under 'Registered User Downloads'. Only the XE7 version.

This critical update is available to all customers, even the ones without active subscription. You make it sound as if this is an exception to the new standard policy.

Does that mean that future critical updates that are absolutely necessary to keep the product functioning might not be available to everyone?
