[Solved] Installing Trial License

[austin waggoner]

After about a week, when I went to use the R.A.D. editor I was prompted to enter a trial license.  Long story short, I got the license and curious about the placement of the license file.  The instructions say the "root of your web application".  I am running Server 2003, with IIS 6 and am wondering exactly where I put the license file.

Thanks in advance!

Hi austin,

Thank you for your question. Indeed, the information about the location of the LicenseFile is not correct. We will fix this with the next release.

The LicenseFile.xml should be placed in the RadControls folder, the location of which depends on your deployment scenario:

1.
In case you have installed the Web Part package file in GAC (by specifying the “-globallinstall” option of stsadm.exe) the resources are stored in
[Program Files]\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\web server extensions\wpresources\RadWebParts\2.0.1.0__1f131a624888eeed\
 
Should you reference a resource residing in that location (as when setting the LicenseFile property) you can use the following

"~/RadWebParts/2.0.1.0__1f131a624888eeed/

In that case the LicenseFile property in r.a.d.editor should be referenced like this

LicenseFile = "~/RadWebParts/2.0.1.0__1f131a624888eeed/RadControls/LicenseFile.xml" 


2.
If you have installed the Web Part package file in the bin folder of your site (-globallinstall is omitted) all resources are stored in
[Site Root]\wpresources\RadWebParts\

So considering the aforementioned license file, it is set this way:

LicenseFile ="~/wpresources/RadWebParts/RadControls/LicenseFile.xml"



All the best,
