LEADTOOLS Installation Directories

The installation procedure creates a directory tree for the LEADTOOLS files, demonstration programs and online help. You specify the root directory during installation.

The following is a list of the subdirectories in the root directory:

NOTE: Some subdirectories may not be created, depending on the options selected during installation.

Unlocking Special LEAD Features

LEAD offers a variety of features that are locked, or only available in certain toolkits.

To determine if a certain feature is locked, call the RasterSupport.IsLocked method.

To use these features you must:

• Purchase a toolkit that supports the desired feature(s).
• Print the applicable runtime agreement from the help file. For information on all available runtime agreements, refer to the LEADTOOLS Software License Agreement.
• If prepaid licenses are desired, include the order form with payment information. To get a copy of the order form, contact LEAD.
Obtain a copy of the transmittal document (contact LEAD), complete it, and fax it with the runtime agreement and any order form to LEAD's Licensing Department at 704–372–3789.
• 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.
• When you have received the instructions and the key(s) call the RasterSupport.Unlock method with the appropriate key.

Nag Messages

If you obtained a royalty-free LEADTOOLS Imaging product:

simply distribute the Leadtools.dll from the \Redist\NoNag\Dotnet directory.

If you obtained a royalty-bearing LEADTOOLS Imaging Pro, Document, or Medical Imaging SDK product:

You will see a "nag" message when you run your application, produced by the "nag" version of the Leadtools.dll, which was installed into your \Bin directory. Your application will display this "nag" message until LEAD receives an appropriate signed licensing agreement for the product.

In order to remove the nag message, you must:

• Contact LEAD Technologies.
  Once LEAD receives an executed contract, we will provide you a password that will permit you to terminate the "nag" message for the product that you have licensed, and keys to unlock specialized features in the "no-nag" DLL, which is located in the\Redist\NoNag\Dotnet directory.
• Use the password to turn off the nag message, then:
• Use the no-nag version of the Leadtools.dll, found in the \Redist\NoNag\Dotnet directory.
• Unlock the specialized features in your application.
• When you distribute your application, distribute the Leadtools.dll from the \Redist\NoNag\Dotnet directory.
