Multimedia Transforms and Codecs Licensing - General

LEADTOOLS Media Foundation SDK is distributed with a variety of MediaFoundation Transforms, video codecs and audio codecs that may be used for manipulating and compressing audio or video data.

Some transforms and codecs may be included in your application without additional deployment fees provided that you purchase the appropriate deployment license for LEADTOOLS Multimedia.  Certain other transforms and codecs require additional deployment licenses in order to be included and deployed with your end user application. In addition, LEAD has bundled certain of these transforms and codecs requiring additional deployment licenses together and included them with the LEADTOOLS Multimedia Suite SDK as well as the LEADTOOLS DVD Module, the LEADTOOLS Video Streaming Module and the LEADTOOLS MPEG2 Transport Module, which are add-ons to LEADTOOLS Multimedia SDK.

Evaluation versions of the transforms and codecs are included with the LEADTOOLS Multimedia setup. To unlock the evaluation versions of these transforms and codecs , you must complete the Deployment License Application form, which may be found in the LEADTOOLS Multimedia Help File under the topic "LEAD Licensing", and procure any necessary deployment licenses.
