// 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")
