The most robust method of applying a license key is directly in your code, before the library is called.

// Set the IronWebScraper license key, which is a necessary step 
// to use the library without limitations. Make sure to replace 
// this with your actual license key in your production environment.
IronWebScraper.License.LicenseKey = "IRONWEBSCRAPER-MYLICENSE-KEY-1EF01-EXPIRES.01.JAN.2050";

// Set the IronWebScraper license key, which is a necessary step 
// to use the library without limitations. Make sure to replace 
// this with your actual license key in your production environment.
IronWebScraper.License.LicenseKey = "IRONWEBSCRAPER-MYLICENSE-KEY-1EF01-EXPIRES.01.JAN.2050";
