I used Windows8 Release Preview and Visual Studio2012 RC to develop my windows8-style application, And I want to run my application on another machine(client).They have windows8 Release Preview on their machine . So here my question are:
Are they need to install any other software like Visual Studio2012
and .NetFramework4.5 on their machine or not?
Can anyone give me some helpful information related to client's
machine requirements to run metro app successfully?
Thank you.

You can test it with PowerShell, it may require .net framework to install and for detailed information follow the links below.

Check the Edit Section of the answer and the reference video in the another answer for your second query.
Supporting a Metro style Device App
Hope this help you explore about the metro app deployment.
You can also configure your machines to do remote debugging if you want. This is useful if your development machine is a traditional laptop or desktop but you want to debug your app running on a slate that has an accelerometer, GPS, multi touch, etc.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bt727f1t.aspx has information on how to get that set up.

Is it possible to deploy to a windows 8.1 phone without having a developers licence?
I am trying to build and demo a proof of concept, so buying a licence at this time is not really wanted or required. I have looked through various sites and the Microsoft sites but cannot find a way of deploying the app without a licence.
I would be happy to use the emulator in visual studio but my computer only has 4gb so that is not an option. If I need a licence are there any other temporary options open to me? or are my only options up the RAM or get a licence
No, you need a license to 'side load' the application to test devices.
I have a windows store app for Windows 8.1 - it's a specific app that is supposed to run only at one device. I deliver it to client via AppDevPackage and it's installed / updated via Power Shell script.
The app works fine when developer license is valid on the device but this license shouldn't be used in production enviroment. Also there is need to renew this license occasionaly (that's very inconvinient).
I know that's obsolete technology, but my question is, what should I do to get rid of the need of having developer license at this device (and to keep posibility of publishing the app via AppDevPackage)?
Please help ;)
First time developing Windows Phone 8.1 Universal App.
I figured how to create the .appx file after some googling. But now I need to deploy it to multiple customer devices, didn't figure that yet. For the moment I'm trying to deploy it to my development device, but it keeps throwing this error (see attached image).
I only have the myApp_ARM.appx file on my AppPackages folder. I can't find or browse to %FOLDERID_SharedData%. I have no idea where to find this ARM_Optimized.appx file.
First, reboot your phone, make sure there is no update pending. It should let you deploy into your phone.
Second, for deploying to multiple customer devices, use Hockeyapp (hockeyapp.net) to distribute the appx or use enterprise app feature.
I am having windows phone 8 silverlight app. I need to publish it on Windows store. Can you please provide or explain step by step guide to publish this app in store.
Stackoverflow link discussed already. But after changing the values in files manually what need to do after tha?
I followed the steps mention here, but i am getting certification issue after submitting app.
This is a guide to publishing applications in Windows Store. Important -Silverligth app supported only Windows Phone and not supported Windows 8 and Windows 10. For supported Windows RT you need to make migration to universal app.
Windows App certification kit is very nice utility. Before publishing app use this app for analysis. When i run analysis of my XAP file using this utility, I found that i was using some default images that was main issue in certification failure. Now i am updating that. And will let you if this works or not.
I am using Visual Studio 2013 Professional (with a Store developer account connected) and I have a Windows 8.1 Lenovo tablet for which I'd like to try developing Store apps.
I am stuck right now because when I connect my tablet to my laptop (which has Visual Studio) using the USB port, and open "Windows Phone Development Registration" tool, my Windows tablet device is not recognized by it.
Any help in letting me know what I am missing would be greatly apprciated.
Thanks.
Windows systems aren't locked in the same way as Windows Phones are. You will need a free developer license to run development & test packages on the system, but don't need to use an external tool to generate it.
You can install a developer license with PowerShell by using the "Show-WindowsDeveloperLicenseRegistration" cmdlet. If you create a package for testing in Visual Studio then the Add-AppDevPackage.ps1 script will request the developer license if the system doesn't already have one.
Visual Studio will also request a license for you if you run it on the local system or if you launch the app via the remote debugger.

It works a bit different with tablets than with phones. If you don't need debugging - you can simply copy the appx onto the tablet and install it there. If you want to debug - you need to install remote debugging tools on it and specify in VS that you want to debug on a remote machine (click the little drop down arrow on the button here:
