Refer to this link to learn about registering the Syncfusion® license key in your application to use our components.
  2. Syncfusion® components are available in nuget.org.
  3. Starting with v17.3.0.x, Syncfusion® provides support for .NET Core 3.0. You can use the above WPF or Windows Forms platform NuGet packages for .NET Core 3.0 targeting applications and use the same “C# tab” code examples for it.
