Deploying an application with TX Spell .NET for Windows Forms means getting one folder onto the user's machine: your executable, *TXSpell.dll* and *TXSpell.Windows.Forms.dll*, and the four folders of language data the spell checker works with. No setup runs there, nothing is registered, and the license is already inside your assembly. The one thing that goes wrong is the language data, which your development machine finds in the installation and the user's machine doesn't.

### The Deployment at a Glance

- **One folder.** Everything TX Spell .NET needs sits next to the executable: the assemblies, a *de* folder with the German dialog texts, and the folders *Dictionaries*, *HyphenationLists*, *LanguageRecognition* and *SynonymLists*.
- **.NET 8 or higher:** the NuGet package TXTextControl.TXSpell.WinForms.SDK copies these files, and **Publish** creates the folder.
- **.NET Framework:** you copy the files from the *Assembly* folder of the installation.
- **Royalty-free:** you may distribute any number of applications without runtime fees, under the conditions of the license agreement.
