Adding references in Visual Studio 2012

I just took over an existing project from another developer.

I am trying to set up a new, clean, development machine but this project has references to ComponentOne Studio for WinForms software for which I cannot find the install programs. I do have access to the actual DLL files that are referenced in project.

Can I simply copy the referenced DLL files from the old development computer to a folder on my new development computer and add a reference to them in my project or am I actually required to install the Studio for Win Forms product to get access to these DLLs for the reference?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks for the advice. I was able to get it to work copying the DLL files but started getting a nag screen. I contacted ComponentOne and they gave me the install files I needed and also the required license keys. We ended up renewing our support with ComponentOne for another year.
