To use locked features you must:

$image\sqrblit.gif$ Purchase a toolkit that supports the desired feature(s).

$image\sqrblit.gif$ Print the applicable runtime agreement from the help file. For information on the runtime agreements, go to Products and Licensing and click the LEAD Licensing button.

$image\sqrblit.gif$ Complete the Transmittal document and fax it and the runtime agreement to LEAD's Licensing Department at 704-372-3789. (To get a copy of the Transmittal document, contact sales@leadtools.com.)

$image\sqrblit.gif$ If prepaid licenses are desired, include the order form with payment information. You can fax this along with the Transmittal form and the runtime agreement. (To get a copy of the order form, contact sales@leadtools.com.)

$image\sqrblit.gif$ Once we have received the signed agreement, we will send instructions for eliminating the license dialogs and the key(s) necessary for unlocking the appropriate features.

$image\sqrblit.gif$ When you have received the instructions and the key(s) call the L_UnlockSupport LSettings::UnlockSupport function with the appropriate key.

For example, for the LEADTOOLS Document Imaging toolkit:

$image\sqrblit.gif$ Print the Document Imaging Agreement (or the Document Imaging with OCR Agreement if you have also purchased the LEADTOOLS OCR Module).

$image\sqrblit.gif$ Complete the Transmittal document and fax it and the Document Imaging Agreement (or the Document Imaging with OCR Agreement) to LEAD's Licensing Department at 704-372-3789.

$image\sqrblit.gif$ If you want prepaid licenses, print a copy of the order form, fill it out and send the order form and payment information to LEAD.

$image\sqrblit.gif$ Once we have received the signed Document Imaging Agreement (or Document Imaging with OCR Agreement), we will send the instructions for eliminating the license dialogs and any necessary keys.

$image\sqrblit.gif$ When you receive the instructions and the key(s), call L_UnlockSupport LSettings::UnlockSupport (L_SUPPORT_DOCUMENT, <document key>) to unlock the Document features, where <document key> represents the actual alphanumeric key you receive from LEAD. If you also purchased the LEADTOOLS OCR Module, the OCR features will have to be unlocked separately, using the appropriate key.
