(Legacy) Setting Up Your License Before 2025 Q1

Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core versions earlier than 2025 Q1 (2025.1.211), require you to reference a script key after the Kendo UI script files. A missing script key will cause a banner and a watermark to appear in your application.

Referencing the Script Key

Follow the steps in this article to download a script key and add it to your application.

1. Go to the License Keys page in your Telerik account.

2. On the Progress® Kendo UI® for jQuery row, click the View key link in the SCRIPT KEY column.

   

3. Copy the JavaScript code snippet into a new file, for example, telerik-license.js.

4. Add the script file to your project, for example, in the wwwroot\js folder.

5. Add the file as a script reference right after the kendo.aspnetmvc.min.js reference or the Kendo UI scripts you are using.

<script src="~/js/telerik-license.js"></script>

As a result, the script key will be distributed along with the other scripts and this cannot be avoided. However, Progress recommends that you do not publicly announce it.

Starting with the 2025 Q1 release, the script key has been replaced by a License Key Mechanism.
