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
