Redistribution and Deployment (.NET Framework)

  • 3 minutes to read

Certain DevExpress libraries are considered redistributable under the End User License Agreement (EULA) and can be distributed to end-users of your applications. You must have a valid license to legally distribute applications that use DevExpress components.

This topic covers the DevExpress redistribution policy and contains a list of redistributable assemblies.

Redistributable Assemblies

When you deploy a project that uses DevExpress Office File API libraries, you should copy the corresponding assembly files onto an end-user machine. The document provides the complete list of DevExpress Office File API assemblies that can be redistributed according to the terms of DevExpress EULA.

Note

In most cases, you may only use some assemblies in your project. Use the Assembly Deployment Tool to analyze your project and obtain the list of assemblies that should be deployed in your particular case.

ADT-04

The following table lists the assemblies required by applications that use the Office File API library functionality. By default, these assemblies are located in the following folder of your development machine after installation.

“C:\Program Files\DevExpress 24.1\Components\Bin\Framework"
