Syncfusion Generate — License Key

| Error | Likely cause | |-------|---------------| | License key not found | RegisterLicense never called | | License key is invalid | Wrong key or key for wrong product family | | Trial Expired | No valid license key provided | | Community License eligibility failed | Company size > $1M revenue or > 5 developers |

Add this line once before any Syncfusion component is used – typically in Program.cs or Startup.cs:

using Syncfusion.Licensing;
// At the very top of Main() or before app.Run()
SyncfusionLicenseProvider.RegisterLicense("YOUR_LICENSE_KEY");

Once logged in, click on the "Downloads" tab at the top of the dashboard.

// appsettings.json
"SyncfusionLicenseKey": "NzMwMjNAMzIzNjJlMzJlMzBAMzM..."

var key = builder.Configuration["SyncfusionLicenseKey"];
SyncfusionLicenseProvider.RegisterLicense(key);

using Syncfusion.Licensing;
// Place this at startup (e.g., Program.cs, App.xaml.cs, or Main method)
SyncfusionLicenseProvider.RegisterLicense("YOUR_LICENSE_KEY_HERE");

Example – Program.cs in a .NET 8 Console/WPF app: syncfusion generate license key

namespace MyApp
internal class Program
static void Main()
SyncfusionLicenseProvider.RegisterLicense("NzMwMjNAMzIzNjJl... (your full key)");
            // rest of your app

Generating a Syncfusion license key is a straightforward but critical process. The key is not a code snippet you write; it is a string you retrieve from your Syncfusion account dashboard. Once generated, a single line of C# code (SyncfusionLicenseProvider.RegisterLicense(...)) unlocks the full power of over 1,700 UI controls across 12 platforms.

To recap the process:

By following this guide, you should never see a "Trial Expired" error again. Keep your license key secure, re-generate it when upgrading, and always test it before deploying to production.
