Note that the license needs to be installed on both the developer machine as well as the build machine where the application is built for deployment. During build the design-time license is validated, and a run-time license is generated and embedded into the application. This run-time license is checked every time the application is run. If a valid run-time license is not found then the trial mark is shown. Please follow the steps below below to ensure that a valid run-time license is correctly embedded in each of your app that uses the Gnostice controls and components.

For .NET Framework projects

1.Create a Properties folder under your Visual Studio project if it doesn't already exist. You need to do this for all the projects that directly reference Gnostice controls and components.

2.Create a plain text file titled licenses.licx under the Properties folder.

3.Make sure the licenses.licx file contains the following line:

 

    Gnostice.Licensing.License, Gnostice.Documents

 

4.Set the build action for licenses.licx is to Embedded Resource

5.Rebuild your application.

 

For .NET Core/5/6/7 and Xamarin projects

Due to tooling limitations for .NET Standard projects (includes Xamarin, .NET Core, and .NET 5/6/7...) the automatic provisioning of runtime license cannot currently be done. Please see the help topic here for a workaround.
