As soon as your first version is ready to go, you will have a choice of three ways to generate the application you'll deliver to your users.
Your application is useful on its own and can be opened by any copy of 4D, standalone or client/server, interpreted or compiled, based upon the deployment license.
Advantage: You can access the development environment and debugger while working, which is highly practical for refining final details as they pertain to real-world usage.
You will be able to distribute and use the application just as in the first option, opened with 4D or 4D Server. Your application will be lighter, execute faster, and you can guarantee that your source code can be neither corrupted nor compromised. (Requires 4D Developer Professional or 4D Team Developer Professional)
Standalone or client server, including the 4D database engine... With this option, you need not deliver more than a single object, your program, which you can personalize with a name, icon, etc. This also makes installation easier for your users. (Requires 4D Developer Professional or 4D Team Developer Professional)
