Media Writer Files You Must Include With Your Application (Redistributables)

The installation procedure creates a directory tree for the LEADTOOLS files, and adds the demonstration programs and online help to your desktop. You specify the root directory during installation. The following subdirectory for the features is created:

 

Redist

Redistributable features files.

Redist\Unlicensed

Redistributable features files that require special licensing.

 

 

Note:

The LEADTOOLS features are provided for evaluation purposes only. You may not copy, redistribute or deploy in production any of the following files without obtaining the proper license. In some cases, the license is included with your initial purchase of LEADTOOLS. In other cases, you must obtain a license from LEAD by entering into a Duplication and Distribution License.  See Licensing. For these special licensing situations, see the notes below accompanying the specific file.

Note:

Certain standards-based technology may require patent licenses from third party patent holders.  The license provided by LEAD does not include any third party patent licenses, and it is your responsibility to acquire any third party licenses that are required.   In certain cases where LEAD is aware of the existence of third party patents covering a standard, LEAD has acquired a patent license that covers the LEADTOOLS SDK,  but we do not have the right to sublicense the patents.  In cases where LEAD has acquired a patent license, the contact information for the patent holder/agent is shown below. LEAD makes no representations or warranties whatsoever to the effect that the patent holders shown below constitute all persons holding patents covering the standards-based technology that is included in the Software.  LEAD encourages its customers to conduct their own due diligence regarding the potential for third party patents on any features that are being incorporated into the application

Note:

You may not distribute the header files with your application, and you may not provide software development capabilities in your application.

The following table summarizes the files you must include on your distribution media to support the LEADTOOLS features functions on a WIN32 system.

The Redist folder contains the files you are licensed to use with the LEADTOOLS SDK.

The Redist\Unlicensed contains the files that require a separate license before you can redistribute them. These can be licensed by purchasing an Add-on module, or by licensing the filters or codecs individually.
