Licenses for end-users of my software

created 10 years ago

[DevExpress Support Team: CLONED FROM T291826: What happens when the trial period is expired?]
Hi there,
Sorry to trouble you again… After browsing some other licensed software, I got some questions again.
Once I purchase a license, and distribute my software to end-user, do they need to purchase the license as well??
If not needed, do I need to display out my license in my software?
Thanks =)

Hello Jasper,

No license is required to deploy the compiled application to end users. We do not charge any fees of royalties for deploying your end-user applications, whether you are going to sell them for millions or give them away to millions :)

We license our products on a per-developer basis. The DevExpress End-User License Agreement requires that every engineer who develops or builds with our controls has a valid personal license for him/her. This means that you have to acquire a license for the appropriate DevExpress products if you need to build projects with DevExpress controls on your machines. That's it.

I think this makes sense. If you need further clarification, I will be happy to follow up with you.
