Do endusers need to obtain a toolkit or license key?
A. No. Only the developer of a DataGlyph-enabled product or service needs the toolkit. For example, assume a developer is making a fax machine that is capable of inserting and reading DataGlyphs on fax cover pages. The fax machine developer needs the toolkit and a license key to activate it. The toolkit libraries are incorporated (linked) into the fax machine software and are distributed as part of the fax machine. The developer embeds their activating license key into the fax machine software as well. The resulting fax machine is sold to end users, who in general don’t have to care about the inner workings of the product. They certainly don’t need to know about DataGlyph toolkits or obtain one. This situation holds true for any sort of DataGlyph enabled product or service, including pure software products.
