Overview

Thank you for downloading the WPF Studio control suite from Actipro Software. WPF Studio is a suite of user interface controls for Windows Presentation Foundation that include a powerful syntax-highlight code editor, docking/MDI, Office-like ribbons and navigation, wizards, editors, propertygrid, and much more.

Licensing

The components you've downloaded or copied are fully functional versions. By using them, you are placed under the terms of the Evaluation License (see EULA.html). Under this Evaluation License, you may only use the control for evaluation purposes for a period of 30 days, after which you must either remove all files associated with the control or purchase a Single Developer License for each individual developer on a project that uses the component.

Under the terms of the Evaluation License, you may not distribute any of the files associated with the control. In order to distribute files marked as Redistributable below, you must purchase a Single Developer License.

In the Evaluation Version of the control, a popup About window is displayed whenever the control is instantiated. This is removed upon the purchase of a Single Developer License.

See the product documentation or visit our web site for more details on licensing.

Purchasing a Single Developer License

Single Developer Licenses for the control may be purchased securely on-line using any major credit card at: https://www.ActiproSoftware.com/Purchase/ShoppingCart.aspx. Each Single Developer License allows a single developer to work with the control beyond the Evaluation Period and enables them to distribute any of the files marked as Redistributable royalty-free. Discount volume licenses and site licenses are also available.

Each individual developer on a project using a component requires a separate license, whether they directly use the component or not! This means "one license for EVERY developer on the project", NOT "one license per developer using the component." After all, your entire project benefits by using the component.

Installation

To install and run a sample application for the product:
  1. Unzip the downloaded .ZIP file to any folder.

Deploying Your Application

To deploy an application that uses this product, simply copy the redistributable assemblies described below to the same folder as your application's executable. Nothing else needs to be deployed. Your license information will be compiled into your application by Visual Studio. For more information on how your license is embedded into your application and how to set it up, please read the detailed Licensing topic in the documentation.
