Redistribution and Deployment
- 10 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 WPF project that uses DevExpress WPF controls, you should copy the corresponding assembly files onto an end-user machine. This document lists DevExpress WPF assemblies, which can be redistributed according to the terms of the 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.
Important
Distributing any DevExpress design-time assemblies ending with “.Design.dll” (for instance, DevExpress.Xpf.Grid.v20.1.Design.dll, DevExpress.Xpf.Printing.v20.1.Design.dll, etc.) is strictly prohibited according to the terms of the DevExpress EULA.
Below is a full list of redistributable DevExpress WPF assemblies. By default, these assemblies are located in the following folder of your development machine after installation.
“C:\Program Files (x86)\DevExpress 20.1\Components\Bin\Framework\“
Note that the 20.1 number encountered in the assembly and folder names in this topic identifies a product version’s year and volume number. You can find more information about our product delivery and versioning model at the Product Delivery Model web page.

*. The Office2019Colorful theme is used by DevExpress WPF controls by default. Thus, it is required to add a reference to the DevExpress.Xpf.Themes.Office2019Colorful.v20.1 assembly in your project if it uses the default theme. If your WPF application uses other themes, you need to deploy the appropriate libraries.
Tip
Refer the Theme List topic for more informtaion on available themes.
**. These are libraries that need to be distributed in addition to the listed above, if you are using the reporting feature of the WPF Scheduler control.
