# 3.9 Sharing Licenses and Layouts

DropDMG automatically saves configurations, licenses, and layouts in its folder in `Application Support`. You may, however, wish to share your licenses and layouts with other users. This is especially useful if you want to keep them under a version control system such as Subversion or Git.

Exporting

To export a configuration, drag it from the source list to the Finder. This will create a `.plist` file. If the configuration references any licenses or layouts, you will need to export them as described below.

To export a layout, drag it from the source list to the Finder. This will create a folder containing an `Info.plist`, the background image file, etc.

To export a license, drag it from the source list to the Finder. This will create a folder containing a `.plist` file and a `.rtf` file for each language.

Importing

To import a configuration, layout, or license, quit DropDMG and drag the exported file or folder into the corresponding DropDMG folder:

    /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/DropDMG/Configurations
    /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/DropDMG/Layouts
    /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/DropDMG/Licenses

To open the library folder, see the How can I open the Library folder? section.

Using From Scripts

When creating a disk image using the `dropdmg` command-line tool, you can specify detached licenses or layouts using the `--license-folder` and `--layout-folder` parameters. The configuration options can be specified directly, without referencing an exported configuration file. Corresponding parameters are available for AppleScript.
