Redistribution and Deployment

  • 8 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 WinForms project that uses DevExpress WinForms controls, you should copy the corresponding assembly files onto an end-user machine. This document provides the complete list of DevExpress WinForms assemblies that 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.

Distributing any DevExpress design-time assemblies ending with “.Design.dll” (for instance, DevExpress.XtraGrid.v24.1.Design.dll, DevExpress.XtraPrinting.v24.1.Design.dll, etc.) is strictly prohibited according to the terms of the DevExpress EULA.

Below is a full list of redistributable DevExpress WinForms assemblies. By default, these assemblies are located in the following folder of your development machine after installation.
