Set KENDO_UI_LICENSE environment variable in angular 8 project, not got while hit command npx kendo-ui-license activate

[OpkeyDev]

As per the instruction given in kendo licensing document,

https://www.telerik.com/kendo-angular-ui/components/my-license/

I'm trying to activate kendo license, and got  'KENDO_UI_LICENSE environment variable not set' on the command prompt.

I add KENDO_UI_LICENSE variable in the environment file of the angular project

 

As I mention in the image above.

Then I open command prompt at the location where the package.json file present, and hit 'npx kendo-ui-license activate' command on the command prompt, and I got '(INFO) Kendo UI: KENDO_UI_LICENSE environment variable not set'

any Idea how can I set KENDO_UI_LICENSE variable in my project.

Hi Yogesh,

Please take a look at the steps below to troubleshoot the Kendo UI License issue:

1. Confirm the expiration date of your license by referring to the Downloading the License key article.

2. Clear the cache stored by Angular by running the following command.

rm -rf .angular/cache

3. Verify that there is no older version of the license key in the environment variable by running the command below in PowerShell. It should be empty. If not, delete the environment variable.

Write-Output $env:KENDO_UI_LICENSE

4. Delete the node_modules folder and the package-lock.json file.

5. Clear the NPM cache by running the following command.

npm cache clean

6. Run `npm install` to install all the packages.

7. Download the Kendo UI License key and install it.

8. Run your application.

Additionally, to set the key as an environment variable, set the variable right before you execute the npx command, here's a quick 1-2-3 for you to follow.

Step 1. Open a terminal at the same location as the package.json, as you've previously done.

Step 2. Use the following command to set the env var:

KENDO_UI_LICENSE="your-license-key-goes-here"

Step 3. Now you can execute the npx activate command

npx kendo-ui-license activate

Environment variables are context sensitive, because you've set the variable in the same command prompt instance, the value will be present and the activation will succeed.

Hey Hetaili, I managed to handle the issue.
Before the steps above, if the license still not working, you should remove node_modules, package-lock.json and clear cache. Only after that activate the license with this command: 

npx kendo-ui-license activate
