Canon, Inc. publishes these DLLs. To obtain a license to distribute these files, contact Canon and license the free Canon Digital Camera Software Developer Kit.

These files are included for demonstration and testing purposes. You must obtain a license from Canon prior to distributing these files.

Canon, Inc. suggests that the user of their CRW SDK MUST place the required DLLs/Libraries in the working folder of the EXE application that is using it, and not in the SYSTEM folder. LEADTOOLS tested this in the system folder and it worked fine. But to follow Canon's instructions, we recommend the users of CANON DLLs/Libraries to place them in the working folder of his/her application to avoid any problems/conflicts, which may result from ignoring this recommendation.
