Register Syncfusion License key in FileFormats application

5 Jul 202211 minutes to read

The generated license key is just a string that needs to be registered before any Syncfusion control is initiated. The following code is used to register the license.

Syncfusion.Licensing.SyncfusionLicenseProvider.RegisterLicense("YOUR LICENSE KEY");

NOTE

  • Place the license key between double quotes. Also, ensure that Syncfusion.Licensing.dll is referenced in your project where the license key is being registered.
  • Syncfusion license validation is done offline during application execution and does not require internet access. Apps registered with a Syncfusion license key can be deployed on any system that does not have an internet connection.

Recommended place to register the license in the various platforms controls (ASP.NET Core, Xamarin, etc.) Which included in FileFormats platforms is covered in the following section.

Windows Forms

Register the licensing code in static void main method before calling Application.Run() method in C#. In Visual Basic, register the licensing code in Application.designer.vb file constructor.

static void Main()
{
	//Register Syncfusion license
	Syncfusion.Licensing.SyncfusionLicenseProvider.RegisterLicense("YOUR LICENSE KEY");
	
    Application.EnableVisualStyles();
    Application.SetCompatibleTextRenderingDefault(false);
    Application.Run(new Form1());
}
Public Sub New()
		MyBase.New(Global.Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices.AuthenticationMode.Windows)
		'Register Syncfusion License
		Syncfusion.Licensing.SyncfusionLicenseProvider.RegisterLicense("YOUR LICENSE KEY")
		Me.IsSingleInstance = False
		Me.EnableVisualStyles = True
		Me.SaveMySettingsOnExit = True
		Me.ShutdownStyle = Global.Microsoft.VisualBasic.ApplicationServices.ShutdownMode.AfterMainFormCloses
End Sub

WPF

Register the license key in App constructor of App.xaml.cs in C#. If App constructor not available in App.xaml.cs, create the “App()” constructor in App.xaml.cs and register the license key inside the constructor. In Visual Basic, register the license code in App.xaml.vb.

public partial class App : Application
{
	public App()
	{
		//Register Syncfusion license
		Syncfusion.Licensing.SyncfusionLicenseProvider.RegisterLicense("YOUR LICENSE KEY");
	}	
}
Private Sub New()
	'Register Syncfusion License
	Syncfusion.Licensing.SyncfusionLicenseProvider.RegisterLicense("YOUR LICENSE KEY")
End Sub

ASP.NET

Register the license key in Application_Start method of Global.asax.cs/Global.asax

void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	//Register Syncfusion license
	Syncfusion.Licensing.SyncfusionLicenseProvider.RegisterLicense("YOUR LICENSE KEY");
	
	// Code that runs on application startup
	RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
	BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles);
}
Sub Application_Start(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As EventArgs)
	'Syncfusion Licensing Register
	Syncfusion.Licensing.SyncfusionLicenseProvider.RegisterLicense("YOUR LICENSE KEY")
	'Code that runs on application startup
	AuthConfig.RegisterOpenAuth()
	RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes)
	System.Web.Http.GlobalConfiguration.Configuration.Routes.MapHttpRoute(name:="DefaultApi", routeTemplate:="api/{controller}/{action}/{id}", defaults:=New With {.id = System.Web.Http.RouteParameter.[Optional]
	   })
End Sub

ASP.NET MVC

Register the license key in Application_Start method of Global.asax.cs/Global.asax.vb

void Application_Start(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
	//Register Syncfusion license
	Syncfusion.Licensing.SyncfusionLicenseProvider.RegisterLicense("YOUR LICENSE KEY");
	
	// Code that runs on application startup
	RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes);
	BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles);
}
Protected Sub Application_Start()
        'Syncfusion Licensing Register
        Syncfusion.Licensing.SyncfusionLicenseProvider.RegisterLicense("YOUR LICENSE KEY")
        AreaRegistration.RegisterAllAreas()
        Register(GlobalConfiguration.Configuration)
        FilterConfig.RegisterGlobalFilters(GlobalFilters.Filters)
        RouteConfig.RegisterRoutes(RouteTable.Routes)
        BundleConfig.RegisterBundles(BundleTable.Bundles)
End Sub

ASP.NET Core

Register the license key in Configure method of Startup.cs

// This method gets called by the runtime. Use this method to configure the HTTP request pipeline.
public void Configure(IApplicationBuilder app, IHostingEnvironment env, ILoggerFactory loggerFactory)
{
	//Register Syncfusion license
	Syncfusion.Licensing.SyncfusionLicenseProvider.RegisterLicense("YOUR LICENSE KEY");
	
	loggerFactory.AddConsole(Configuration.GetSection("Logging"));
	loggerFactory.AddDebug();

	...
	
}

UWP

Register the license key in App.xaml.cs constructor before InitializeComponent() in C#. If App constructor not available in App.xaml.cs, create the “App()” constructor in App.xaml.cs and register the license key inside the constructor. In Visual Basic, register the licensing code in App.xaml.vb file before OnLaunched event.

public App()
{
	//Register Syncfusion license
	Syncfusion.Licensing.SyncfusionLicenseProvider.RegisterLicense("YOUR LICENSE KEY");

	this.InitializeComponent();
	this.Suspending += OnSuspending;
}
Public Sub New()
	'Register Syncfusion License
	Syncfusion.Licensing.SyncfusionLicenseProvider.RegisterLicense("YOUR LICENSE KEY")
End Sub

Protected Overrides Sub OnLaunched(e As Windows.ApplicationModel.Activation.LaunchActivatedEventArgs)

...

End Sub

Xamarin.Forms

Register the license key in App.xaml.cs constructor before InitializeComponent(). If App constructor not available in App.xaml.cs, create the “App()” constructor in App.xaml.cs and register the license key inside the constructor.

public App()
{
	//Register Syncfusion license
	Syncfusion.Licensing.SyncfusionLicenseProvider.RegisterLicense("YOUR LICENSE KEY");
	
	InitializeComponent();
	
	MainPage = new App1.MainPage();
}

NOTE

If you are developing an application using Gorilla Player SDK, it is must to register the Syncfusion license key in Xamarin.Forms.Android, Xamarin.Forms.iOS, and Xamarin.Forms.UWP.

    InitializeComponent();
 
    await NavigationService.NavigateAsync("NavigationPage/MainPage");

	Window = new UIWindow(UIScreen.MainScreen.Bounds);

	// If you have defined a root view controller, set it here:
	// Window.RootViewController = myViewController;

	// make the window visible
	Window.MakeKeyAndVisible();

	return true;
}

JavaScript (Essential JS 2)

Syncfusion license key should be registered, if your project using Syncfusion EJ2-JavaScript packages reference. The generated license key is a string that needs to be registered after any Syncfusion JavaScript script reference.

The following code is used to register the license.

JavaScript es5

Register the license key by using registerLicense method after the Syncfusion JavaScript script file reference as below.

// Registering Syncfusion license key
ej.base.registerLicense('License Key');

JavaScript es6 / TypeScript

Register the license key at the entry point of the project before using the Syncfusion controls.

// Registering Syncfusion license key
import { registerLicense } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';

ej.base.registerLicense('License key');

Angular

Register the license key in the main.ts file of the Angular project.

import { enableProdMode } from '@angular/core';
import { platformBrowserDynamic } from '@angular/platform-browser-dynamic';

import { AppModule } from './app/app.module';
import { environment } from './environments/environment';
import { registerLicense } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';

// Registering Syncfusion license key
registerLicense('License Key');

if (environment.production) {
  enableProdMode();
}

platformBrowserDynamic().bootstrapModule(AppModule)
  .catch(err => console.error(err));

ReactJS

Register the license key in the index.js file of the React project.

import React from 'react';
import ReactDOM from 'react-dom';
import './index.css';
import App from './App';
import reportWebVitals from './reportWebVitals';
import { registerLicense } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';

// Registering Syncfusion license key

ReactDOM.render(
  <React.StrictMode>
    <App />
  </React.StrictMode>,
  document.getElementById('root')
);

VueJS

import { registerLicense } from '@syncfusion/ej2-base';

// Registering Syncfusion license key
registerLicense('License Key');
createApp(App).mount('#app')

JavaScript (Essential JS 1)

You must have an active Syncfusion Essential JS license to use Syncfusion Essential JS1 (.js files). However, if you only use the Syncfusion Essential JS1 product, you do not need to register the Syncfusion License keys in your scripts (.js files).

For the following platforms, you can use the script files without registering the license keys.
