Distributing LNS Applications
If you are using the LNS Application Developer’s Kit, you can distribute your LNS
applications, but you cannot distribute any of the LNS runtime files installed on your
development PC. If you want to redistribute LNS applications, you must purchase the
LNS Redistribution Kit. When you install this product, the Echelon LNS Redistribution
Kit program directory is created. This directory contains the LNS Redistributable Maker
utility. This utility is not included with the LNS Application Developer’s Kit.
It is the responsibility of the developer to create the installation for an LNS
redistributable application. The LNS Redistributable Maker Utility produces an install
program that installs all the necessary LNS components, and creates the Echelon LNS
Utilities program directory on the target PC.
The required components vary depending on the LNS application. If the application will
be used solely as a remote client, then the LNS Server components are not required, but
the LNS ActiveX Control components are. In this case, the Redistributable Maker can
produce a smaller "remote client" installation. If the application can operate locally and
remotely, the Redistributable Maker produces a full LNS installation, which can install
both the complete and remote client versions.
Using the LNS Redistributable Maker Utility
The LNS Redistributable Maker Utility is installed as part of the LNS Redistribution
Kit. To use the Redistributable LNS Maker Utility, launch the application using the
shortcut in the LNS Redistribution Kit program group in the Windows Programs menu.
This opens the dialog shown in Figure 14.1.
