Telerik.Licensing

An utility package used to detect Telerik products and implement build and runtime license validation.

Part of the Telerik DevCraft product suite.

Please, read and accept the End User License Agreement before using this product.

License Activation

To download a license key file, visit https://www.telerik.com/account/your-licenses/license-keys

The packages comes with two major parts that facilitate build time and runtime license validation:

• Telerik.Licensing.Tasks.dll - MSBuild task
• Telerik.Licensing.Runtime.dll - runtime library

Build Task

At compile time, the build task will evaluate the references in your project, and will query license information from the Telerik licensing file stored on your developer machine. The task will then embed a runtime key using code generation.

The Runtime

At runtime, Telerik components will query Telerik.Licensing.Runtime.dll about the license state.

FAQ

See the Purchasing & Licensing FAQs and the Licensing documentation of the specific Telerik product you're using.

Known Issues

• Automatic license activation is not supported for ASP.NET Web Site Projects. See the Telerik UI for ASP.NET Ajax - Installing a License Key in Projects without NuGet References.
