Hi,

I would like to clarify that the issue fixed is not the presence of a license.licx file, but the error when building your project, which is discussed in the beginning of this thread.

Since Q1 2015, the license file is expected to be generated, when using Telerik UI for ASP.NET AJAX. And as stated in the License File help article "If you are working under source control, once the file is created, it will be detected as a change by your source control system. We would suggest that you check-in this file initially. Then, when it is checked-out again during your work, it is up to you to decide whether to check it in, or discard the changes."

Could you clarify if you are concerned about the presence of the license.licx file or there are errors when building your project with Q2 2015?

Thanks for replay,

OK that is maybe not the right post here, because we don't get errors because we roll back our version to Q1 2015.

Sorry for that. Should I open a new thread?

We saw that license.lixc as we installed the Q2 2015 Version and that behavior we had never seen before. It disturbs our work extremely. Check in Check out ... and as we only look a at layout of our reports it will be checked out the report again and creates a license.lixc file again... so again, deleting, checkin... this is useless work...

We decide to rollback to Q1 2015 and wait for a solution.

Thanks for License File help article, but that do not help us...

Sorry for my bad English

Hi,

As my colleague Dimitar mentioned and as stated in the help article, we are using the default licensing mechanism of .NET and there is no setting in VS that can stop the license file to be created automatically when you are using Telerik UI controls in Design time.

What you can try is to:

delete the contents of the license.licx
check in the file
make the source control ignore the license file so any changes on a developer machine won't make it into the build machine or anywhere elsewhere.

Other already suggested options are to check-in the licx file in your source control and leave it as-is in the future, each local VS instance will modify them as needed. Otherwise, you can delete them if you like, but lc.exe will generate the license dll when you prepare your app for deployment. This is simply how the .NET licensing mechanism works.

Hi I updated my telerik yesterday but had issues with my license.licx file I read at the below link that if you have any issues with the license file to just delete and rebuild the project so I tried that I deleted the license file and clicked rebuild only to get an error everywhere in my code where telerik is used so it wont recreate the license file and I can no longer debug the project or run the project.

http://docs.telerik.com/devtools/aspnet-ajax/licensing/license-file

How do I solve this and what is the correct process for upgrading telerik as it always seems to cause issues in all of our projects we use it in when we update it.

Hi Anand,

This is how the Microsoft licensing mechanism works and I am afraid that there aren't any new available options for its improvement.

The available options are still the same:

Delete the contents of the license.licx
Or delete the whole license.licx file
Or check in the file
Or make the source control to ignore the license file so any changes on a developer machine won't make it into the build machine or anywhere elsewhere.

Best regards,
