Redistribution and Deployment of .NET Framework Apps

• Feb 07, 2025

Certain DevExpress libraries are considered redistributable under the End User License Agreement (EULA) and can be distributed to users of your applications. You must have a valid license to legally distribute applications that use DevExpress WinForms components.

Redistributable Assemblies

Important

Please refer to the DevExpress End User License Agreements page for an up-to-date list of redistributable assemblies, tools, and executables.

When you deploy a WinForms project that uses DevExpress WinForms controls, you should copy corresponding DevExpress assembly files to a user’s PC.

Use the DevExpress Assembly Deployment Tool to analyze your WinForms solution and get a list of assemblies to deploy.

Non-Redistributable Files

Redistribution of the following DevExpress libraries is strictly prohibited:

• DevExpress design-time assemblies ending in .Design.dll (for example, DevExpress.XtraGrid.v25.2.Design.dll, DevExpress.XtraPrinting.v25.2.Design.dll).
• Tools in the “C:\Program Files\DevExpress 25.2\Components\Bin\Framework\“ folder, except for those listed in the EULA.
