Technical requirements

RAD Server is installed as part of Delphi Enterprise or Architect. RAD Server is designed as a scalable REST API publishing framework. Its functionality is extended through building Delphi BPL packages that are loaded into the RAD Server at its startup. It also requires access to the Embarcadero InterBase SQL database, where it keeps its system database. During the installation of Delphi, make sure to install the development version of InterBase. It comes with a special license for using it as a system database for RAD Server.

To summarize, the RAD Server support is available only in the Enterprise and Architect versions of the product, not in the Professional and Community editions.
