Manufacturing Toolkit license needs to be activated to access the MTK APIs both during the development of your application and in production. The Licensing and Activation section of the documentation covers the activation workflow in detail.
When shipping your application, the development license is compiled into your application. The development license source file itself must not be distributed separately.
The runtime license is not compiled into the application. In production, place the runtime license file in the same directory as the application executable. Avoid hardcoded absolute paths to the runtime license file in production deployments.
You may only redistribute the following files when shipping your application linked with Manufacturing Toolkit SDK:
You may not redistribute header files (*.hxx) and import libraries (*.lib) with your application.
For more details please refer to mtk_redist_page and the redist.txt and EULA files.
