Syncfusion Licensing Overview

4 May 20244 minutes to read

We have introduced license key validation for Essential JS2 platforms from the 2022 Volume 1 release starting version (v20.1.47). This licensing key validation will enforce the developer to register the valid licensing key in an application while referring to any of the latest JavaScript packages, either from npm or CDN or build.

Privacy Assurance

The Syncfusion license does not store any user-specific information or details related to the user’s company. The license key provided contains solely the encrypted values necessary for Syncfusion component validation. This ensures the privacy and security of user data while enabling effective validation of the components.

It’s crucial to emphasize that the encrypted license key undergoes validation entirely on the client side, eliminating the need for network connections or HTTP requests. This approach enhances privacy, as Syncfusion neither accesses personal data nor collects information about users or devices. Whether working on a local development machine or within a CI/CD system, the license key validation process remains consistent, offering a secure and efficient experience without any data transmission to Syncfusion servers or third-party entities.

Note: The license verification process implemented by Syncfusion has been designed to seamlessly integrate with your app’s functionality without any adverse impact on its performance. Although keys are permitted to be included in the application source code/bundle, it is imperative to refrain from actively promoting, publishing, or distributing license keys. Any attempt to disseminate license key information with the intention of circumventing licensing requirements is strongly discouraged.

Obtaining License

License key can be obtained from the My Account » License and downloads section of the Syncfusion website. To obtain a license key, you will need to have an active trial or license or community license.

Syncfusion license management and allocation process

Syncfusion issues licenses for Essential Studio on a individual developer basis. Each developer using Essential Studio must obtain an individual license. If your organization possesses several licenses, you can distribute them to different developers as needed. During this allocation process, each developer will receive individual access to their personal license key, conveniently accessible through the Syncfusion Downloads & Keys under their designated Syncfusion account.

If a developer leave or discontinue their use of Essential Studio, you have the flexibility to revoke their license and assign it to another team member on request. This practice promotes the effective management and utilization of licenses within your organization.

Difference between unlock key and license key

Please note that this license key is different from the installer unlock key that you might have used in the past and needs to be separately generated from Syncfusion website.

  • Unlock Key - Syncfusion Unlock Key is used to unlock the Syncfusion installers alone.

  • License Key - Syncfusion License Key is a string that needs to be registered in your script to avoid licensing warning.

Refer to this KB article to know more about difference between the Syncfusion Unlock Key and the Syncfusion License Key.
