LEADTOOLS requires a runtime license file and developer key.
You may download the latest build of LEADTOOLS and have a temporary runtime license and developer key emailed to you by registering at this link:
https://www.leadtools.com/downloads
The first step in obtaining a permanent runtime license and development key is to purchase a development license for the LEADTOOLS product(s) that include the desired feature(s). Upon purchasing a LEADTOOLS development license, a temporary runtime license file and developer key will be sent to you, so you may continue to develop while a deployment license is put into place. If you have purchased a LEADTOOLS development license, but are not able to develop because you have not received a developer key and license file, contact sales@leadtools.com.
The second step is to complete and submit the Deployment License Application Form (DLA) to obtain a quote to purchase deployment licenses. Once you have submitted the form, licensing@leadtools.com may contact you for additional information to finalize the deployment license agreement.
Next, purchase any necessary deployment licenses, and if applicable, complete and sign a Commercial Deployment License. The signed document may be scanned as a PDF file and sent to licensing@leadtools.com or sent via fax to +1-704-372-8139. To obtain a copy of the Commercial Distribution License for your specific needs, contact oemsales@leadtools.com.
Finally, once licensing has received your Deployment License Application Form and, if applicable, the Commercial Deployment License, licensing will send your specific license file and developer key necessary to unlock the appropriate features. At this point, you may distribute your application per the deployment license agreement and, if applicable, the Commercial Deployment License.
These instructions apply to temporary evaluation and permanent LEADTOOLS license files and developer keys. Once you have received your developer key and license file, use the appropriate license function for your development environment and target platform.

The Media Raster feature, known as DVD Burner in the Multimedia toolkits, is unlocked with any of the above methods, if it is included in your LEADTOOLS runtime license and is available for the target platform.
Unlike LEADTOOLS Medical, Document, and Imaging products, LEADTOOLS Multimedia products use license keys instead of a runtime license file/developer key combination to unlock specific multimedia DirectShow and Media Foundation filters. These keys will be sent to you by licensing@leadtools.com once appropriate deployment licensing is in place. Until that time, the LEADTOOLS DirectShow and Media Foundation filters can be available in evaluation mode. For more information, refer to LEAD DirectShow and Media Foundation Evaluation Mechanism.
