Removing the Trial Message

Environment

Product

Progress® Telerik® UI for UI for ASP.NET Core

Description

I switched from a Trial to Commercial license, but I still see the Trial message.

Solution

The steps described in this KB article are valid for Telerik UI for UI for ASP.NET Core versions up to 2025 Q2. Starting with 2025 Q2, the trial installer is deprecated. You can start a free trial by using the unified installer

There are several common reasons for the observed behavior:

• The build is not updated.

  Try clearing the build folders and then building the project/solution once again. If the application has been compiled with the trial version and not recompiled with the commercial version, the trial message might still be displayed.

• A reference to the trial package has remained in the .csproj file.

  Inspect the .csproj file of the application and make sure that it doesn't contain a reference to the trial version of the Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core package:

  Razor

  <ItemGroup>
      <PackageReference Include="Telerik.UI.for.AspNet.Core.Trial" Version="2021.3.914" />
  </ItemGroup>

• A reference to the Trial package has been pushed to source control.

  In case you have configured any build/release pipelines while testing the Telerik UI for ASP.NET Core Trial package, it is possible that a reference to the component library has been pushed to source control and is being used for rebuilding the project.
