How to embed a license into an SDK module

Post by yu.shimizu »

We are currently integrating the PDF-XChange Editor SDK into a Windows service application developed in .NET. At present, we are using the demo version provided, but we plan to purchase a developer license for full integration in the future.

In this regard, we would like to know how the developer license or user license should be applied to the SDK module when distributing the application. The application will be distributed to multiple users under contract with our company.

Will it be sufficient to simply set the developer license key that we plan to obtain?

Hi yu.shimizu,

Licensing the SDK and the function involved is described in the SDKhelp site Licensing section: https://sdkhelp.pdf-xchange.com/view/PXV:Licensing

Distribution to clients has a few of methods, we suggest in most cases, the Registration Free method, all methods are described in the Redistribution to Clients section: https://sdkhelp.pdf-xchange.com/view/PXV:Redistribution
