Hello Brian, after several document passing and many phone call, eventually I got the no-logo version AAPLAY.DLL I don't need to play full screen animation, can I just distribute the AAPLAY.DLL ? i.e. not distribute AAVGA.DLL ? Also, can I put the AAPLAY.DLL in my application's directory rather than Windows' system directory ? Thanks. Regds LAM Chi-fung

LAM, Yes to everything. You may distribute, or not distribute, whichever versions of the .DLL you want. I assume an agreement was signed with Autodesk when you got the logo-less .DLL. You should be able to put the .DLL in any subdirectory, it is merely Windows convention to put it in the SYSTEM directory. -Brian

Then I will put it in the applications dir, since I hate program make my windows\system directory become a rubbish bin !!!!! Just throw everything in and not delete. Regds LAM Chi-fung

>> You may distribute, or not distribute, whichever versions of the .DLL you want. I assume an agreement was signed with Autodesk when you got the logo-less .DLL Hi Brian, I only caught some of this thread. If I use AAPLAY.dll with the logo do I still need to sign something with Autodesk?

<< If I use AAPLAY.dll with the logo do I still need to sign something with Autodesk? >> Only if you are commercially distributing it (i.e. getting money for your program). If you are just giving out, that is fine. It is freely distributable for non-commercial applications. -Brian
