You only need to distribute the XCEEDSCO.DLL file with your applications in order for the Xceed Streaming Compression Library to work. You may not distribute any other of the library's files

It is highly recommended to place the XCEEDSCO.DLL file in the Windows System folder, with an application that does version checking, so that an already existing version of the file is not overwritten by an older version. Xceed Software will ensure that as long as the file keeps the XCEEDSCO.DLL name, it will always be backwards compatible with older versions. So applications compiled to work with Xceed Streaming Compression Library v1.1 will work with future versions of the DLL.

The XCEEDSCO.DLL file is fully self-contained, which means that target machines do not need any other files (such as the MFC40.DLL or MSVCRT40.DLL for example) in order for the XCEEDSCO.DLL to register and work on the machine. The early releases of Windows 95 (up to OSR1) require that you install the DCOM update or Internet Explorer v4.0, so that you can use apartment threaded components.

Only registered users are licensed to deploy or distribute applications that use the Xceed Streaming Compression Library.

The License method must be called to license the library for runtime use. This applies to both registered users as well as users of a time-limited free trial license.
