As a professional, you need the honest trade-offs. MIDA Converter Basic include:
Logistics Legacy: IBM UniVerse (PICK) running on AIX. RAD Studio App: New ERP built with FireMonkey and InterBase 2017 (Tokyo version).

Automatically converts over 200 standard VCL components to FMX. For example, it intelligently maps properties like .Caption (VCL) to .Text (FMX).
Open RAD Studio 10.2 Tokyo and navigate to Tools > GetIt Package Manager . Search for "Mida" to see if the Basic edition is available for your license. As a professional, you need the honest trade-offs
For developers using , the MIDA Converter Basic is a vital utility designed to bridge the gap between the traditional VCL (Visual Component Library) and the modern, multi-device FireMonkey (FMX) framework.
: By converting VCL forms to FMX, developers can leverage 10.2 Tokyo’s capabilities to target Android, iOS, macOS, and Linux procedure TMainForm
The "Basic" edition is typically the entry-level license. It handles sequential file conversion and basic dictionary-driven extraction. Unlike the "Pro" edition, it does not include real-time change data capture (CDC), but for a one-time migration project from a legacy system to a modern RAD Studio application, it is often exactly what you need.
RAD Studio 10.2 Tokyo fully supports Win64. However, MIDA Converter Basic historically relied on 32-bit ODBC drivers. Ensure you installed the 64-bit version of your MultiValue ODBC driver (e.g., IBM UniVerse 64-bit ODBC). The MIDA runtime will automatically detect the target platform.
Instead of rewriting apps from scratch, you can reuse existing logic for new multi-device projects .
