I'm trying to install Kendo UI using the following command:

 
npm install --save @progress/kendo-ui

But I'm running into this error:

 
npm ERR! path C:\devAngular\EMS.Orion.UI\node_modules\@progress\kendo-licensing npm ERR! command failed npm ERR! command C:\WINDOWS\system32\cmd.exe /d /s /c node ./bin/kendo-ui-license.js activate --ignore-no-license npm ERR! [WARN][Telerik and Kendo UI Licensing] No Telerik or Kendo UI product references detected in project. npm ERR! Consult the product documentation or contact support at https://prgress.co/3Pzpwvf npm ERR! [ERROR][Telerik and Kendo UI Licensing] Corrupted Telerik and Kendo UI License Key content in KENDO_UI_LICENSE npm ERR! Download a new copy of the license key from https://prgress.co/3PxpDaP

 

Has anyone run into this before? Any guidance on how to properly set or regenerate the license key and fix this error?

Thanks in advance! 🙏

Hi,

Could you please confirm if you are using the Kendo UI for jQuery suite or the Kendo Angular suite?

You can check the following article where possible reason for such an error is described:
