L_TCHAR* pszLicenseFile

Character string containing the name of the LEADTOOLS runtime license file to load.

Comments

You must use this function to set the runtime license for LEADTOOLS and to unlock support for any optional features that you have licensed. If you do not set a runtime license, your application will display a "nag" message dialog at runtime, indicating that you have developed the application without a valid runtime license.

In order to obtain a runtime license and developer key, you must contact LEAD. For more information, refer to About LEADTOOLS Runtime Licenses.

For information about LEADTOOLS Document/Medical capabilities, contact LEAD.

To determine whether support for optional features has been unlocked, use the L_IsSupportLocked function.

To set the runtime license from a memory buffer instead of a disk file, use the L_SetLicenseBuffer function.
