Today i am happy to found telerik's FormDecorator to style my standard asp.net web control, and it's free, there is no reason i don't give it a try.

I open a new blank new ASP.NET 4.0 project to test, but after a 10+ times postback.
telerik control's response.write a prompt message about : ( To remove this message, please purchase a developer version )

I have Attached a screenshot below.

Below is the markup of my test project.
And i have few question,

1. Is it the RadScriptManager1 and RadSkinManager1 not include in free FormDecorator suite?
2. I have remove the RadScriptManager1 ,but it show error :
"The control with ID 'RadFormDecorator1' requires a ScriptManager on the page. The ScriptManager must appear before any controls that need it."
So, do i have to use the classic ScriptManager come from ASP.NET 4.0?

3. Where can i add my free license information for register? web.config? of place a app_license.dll in /bin folder like "De*Express" and "Comp*nentArt" ?
