You can buy a license here or sign up for a free 30 day trial key here.
Step 1: Download the Latest Version of IronBarcode
Install with NuGet
Install-Package BarCode
Download DLL
Manually install into your project
Install via NuGet
Before we start we need to install the latest version of the Barcode NuGet Package.
Install-Package BarCode
https://www.nuget.org/packages/BarCode/
Install via DLL
As an alternative, the IronBarCode.Dll can be downloaded and added to your project as a reference from [.NET Barcode DLL].
Step 2: Apply Your License Key
Set your license using code
Add this code to the startup of your application, before IronBarcode is used.
IronBarCode.License.LicenseKey = "IRONBARCODE-MYLICENSE-KEY-1EF01";
IronBarCode.License.LicenseKey = "IRONBARCODE-MYLICENSE-KEY-1EF01";
IronBarCode.License.LicenseKey = "IRONBARCODE-MYLICENSE-KEY-1EF01"
Set your license using Web.Config or App.Config
To apply a key globally to your application using Web.Config or App.Config, add the following key to your config file in appSettings.
<configuration>
....
<appSettings>
<add key="IronBarCode.LicenseKey" value="IRONBARCODE-MYLICENSE-KEY-1EF01"/>
</appSettings>
....
</configuration>
Ensure that IronBarCode.License.IsLicensed
returns true
to verify.
Set your license key using a .NET Core appsettings.json file
To apply a key globally to your application to a .NET Core:
- Add a JSON file to your project called appsettings.json in the root directory of your project
- Add a 'IronBarCode.LicenseKey' key to your JSON config file. The value should be your license key.
- Ensure that the file properties include Copy to Output Directory: Copy always
File: appsettings.json
{
"IronBarCode.LicenseKey":"IRONBARCODE-MYLICENSE-KEY-1EF01"
}
Step 3: Test your key
Test if your key has been installed correctly.
bool result = IronBarCode.License.IsValidLicense("IRONBARCODE-MYLICENSE-KEY-1EF01");
// Check if IronBarCode is licensed successfully
bool is_licensed = IronBarCode.License.IsLicensed;
bool result = IronBarCode.License.IsValidLicense("IRONBARCODE-MYLICENSE-KEY-1EF01");
// Check if IronBarCode is licensed successfully
bool is_licensed = IronBarCode.License.IsLicensed;
Dim result As Boolean = IronBarCode.License.IsValidLicense("IRONBARCODE-MYLICENSE-KEY-1EF01")
' Check if IronBarCode is licensed successfully
Dim is_licensed As Boolean = IronBarCode.License.IsLicensed
