All .NET assemblies used by the application must be available at run time, either in the Windows Global Assembly Cache (GAC) or in the assemblies directory (and specifying the -assemblies startup parameter). Therefore, when you set up your run-time environment, you need to ensure that the required assemblies are installed on the end user's machine. In general, the standard Microsoft forms and controls are installed with Windows. OpenEdge Ultra Controls for .NET, however, typically will need to be installed as part of application setup.

The development license for the OpenEdge Ultra Controls for .NET entitles application developers to distribute the controls freely.
