Redistribution and Deployment of .NET Framework Apps

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

Redistributable Assemblies

Important

Please refer to the DevExpress End User License Agreements page for an up-to-date list of redistributable assemblies, tools, and executables.

When you deploy a WinForms project that uses DevExpress WinForms controls, you should copy corresponding DevExpress assembly files to a user’s PC.

Use the DevExpress Assembly Deployment Tool to analyze your WinForms solution and get a list of assemblies to deploy.

Non-Redistributable Files

Redistribution of the following DevExpress libraries is strictly prohibited:

  • DevExpress design-time assemblies ending in .Design.dll (for example, DevExpress.XtraGrid.v25.1.Design.dll, DevExpress.XtraPrinting.v25.1.Design.dll).
  • Tools in the “C:\Program Files\DevExpress 25.1\Components\Bin\Framework\“ folder, except for those listed in the EULA.
