Setting your IronWebScraper license key using code

IronWebScraper.License.LicenseKey = "IRONSCRAPER-MYLICENSE-KEY-1EF01";
IronWebScraper.License.LicenseKey = "IRONSCRAPER-MYLICENSE-KEY-1EF01";
IronWebScraper.License.LicenseKey = "IRONSCRAPER-MYLICENSE-KEY-1EF01"
Setting your IronWebScraper license key 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="IronWebScraper.LicenseKey" value="IRONWEBSCRAPER-MYLICENSE-KEY-1EF01"/>
</appSettings>
....
</configuration>
To test if your key has been installed correctly
bool result = IronWebScraper.License.IsValidLicense("IRONWEBSCRAPER-MYLICENSE-KEY-1EF01");
bool result = IronWebScraper.License.IsValidLicense("IRONWEBSCRAPER-MYLICENSE-KEY-1EF01");
Dim result As Boolean = IronWebScraper.License.IsValidLicense("IRONWEBSCRAPER-MYLICENSE-KEY-1EF01")
Setting license key in web.config issue
There is a known licensing issue: in ASP.NET projects targeted .NET framework version >= 4.6.2. The key stored in a web.config
file will NOT be picked up and used by the product.
To work around this issue it is recommended to read license key using ConfigurationManager from web.config
in the code and apply it to the License.LicenseKey.
Example:
With the above XML file, we can use ConfigurationManager to retrieve and pass the license key value to IronWebScraper.License.LicenseKey property.
using System.Configuration;
string licenseKey = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["IronWebScraper.LicenseKey"];
IronWebScraper.License.LicenseKey = licenseKey;
using System.Configuration;
string licenseKey = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings["IronWebScraper.LicenseKey"];
IronWebScraper.License.LicenseKey = licenseKey;
Imports System.Configuration
Private licenseKey As String = ConfigurationManager.AppSettings("IronWebScraper.LicenseKey")
IronWebScraper.License.LicenseKey = licenseKey
