iTextsharp 7 License Key

Question

I am trying to use iText in C#. I have everything working perfectly in my code, until I try to add the license key. Everywhere I have looked say to download: itext.licensekey.dll and itext.licensekey.xml. I have done that and added both to my project. I have looked through the xml's 450 lines of code and cannot find where I am supposed to put my key. I got the key from another program that we are using in another part of the company(not C#). Does anyone know what line in the xml file I am supposed to add my key?

Answer 1

The entire xml file is the license key. You load it like this:

LicenseKey.LoadLicenseFile("path/to/itextkey.xml");

as can be read in the license key FAQ: http://developers.itextpdf.com/content/license-key-frequently-asked-questions/how-do-i-load-license-key

Additionally, you have a license key, which means you are a customer with a support contract. You don't need to use Stack Overflow, you can contact iText Software directly. This is particularly relevant for questions regarding license keys, because they are individual to you and questions regarding them are unlikely to benefit other Stack Overflow users.

Additionally, having an official license key for one application doesn't necessarily mean you are allowed to use that same license key for another application (depending on your contract with iText Software). Contact sales for more information.

Additionally, there is no such thing as iTextSharp 7. See this answer for details: iTextSharp - where are PdfDocument, PdfCanvas, ...?
