Unlocking Special LEAD Features
LEAD offers a variety of features, such as Document support, Medical support, Vector support, Plug-ins, and Modules, which are only available in certain toolkits, and are locked.
Examples of Locked Features:
ABC, ABIC, J2K, JBIG2, and NITF file format support
Barcode Support
Medical imaging, DICOM file format, and DICOM communications support
PDF, ICR, OCR, and OMR Document Imaging support
Vector file format support (such as DXF, DWF, DWG, PCT, PLT, DRW, DGN, WMF, EMF, GBR, and CGM)
To use locked features you must:
Purchase a toolkit that supports the desired feature(s).
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.
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.)
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.)
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 LSettings::UnlockSupport function with the appropriate key.
For example, for the LEADTOOLS Document Imaging toolkit:
Print the Document Imaging Agreement (or the Document Imaging with OCR Agreement if you have also purchased the LEADTOOLS OCR Module).
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.
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.
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.
When you receive the instructions and the key(s), call 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.
To determine if a certain feature is locked:
