Purchase And Licenses
# Do we have to pay for each copy of our software we ship that includes your component?
No. The component is licensed per-developer, not per user.
Once you have purchased a license for each of your developers who directly
works with the component, you can redistribute the component DLLs
with your application royalty free and to any number of end users.

# Is your product royalty free?

to any number of end users with no additional costs and
with no need of additional licenses.

# Do I need to contact you to get a license key for each developer or end user?
No, you don't need to contact us.
The component you receive does not contain any limitations
and can be used by a developer and an end user without the need of any keys.
This also makes the so-called "xcopy deploy" possible.

Install And Setup
# How do I install and use component?
Install the package into a folder of your choice and inspect the contents.
The bin folder contains both debug and release builds of the assembly
and can be either used as an application-private assembly and deployed
within the directory structure of your application, or installed into GAC as
a shared assembly, which can be used by multiple applications on the machine.
To use the component from your project in Visual Studio, just add a reference to it!
The manual is in docs folder and code samples are in samples folder.

# How do I upgrade from trial version to full version when I already bought the component?
First of all, you need to download the full version of your component.
You can download the latest releases from the
protected section of our website.
Steps to upgrade your component in your project:
- Remove the reference to the trial version dlls in your project.
- Replace trial version dlls with the full version dlls.
- Add reference to the new dll files to your project.
- Recompile your project.

# How do I determine whether my DLL is a trial or full version?
To check which version your are actually using try to locate Rebex.*.dll on your disk
(typically somewhere under C:\Program Files\Rebex\ or in your project folder),
lookup it’s properties and check the "Version" tab (or "Details" in Windows Vista).
If the DLL is a trial version, you'll find "Trial Version" at the end of the "Description:"
(or "File description" in Windows Vista) string. If the "trial version" text is missing, it's a full version DLL.
