License

REMARK

License is both a noun and a verb in the United States.

If you live in any other English-speaking country, you will spell it licence when you use it as a noun and license when you use it as a verb.

WARNING

Sometimes, the word "licence" (UK or FR spelling) may be used instead of "license" (US spelling). In particular, note that the environment variable is called Reporting:StimulsoftLicenceKey, not Reporting:StimulsoftLicenseKey. Also, the Helm environment secret is called neos-report-licence, not neos-report-license (see documentation).

Getting a license key

Creating reports in Neos requires a Stimulsoft account with a license.
Connect to your Stimulsoft account and open the Activation menu.
Copy the C# block of code in the Activation Using Code section and paste it in a text editor.
Delete Stimulsoft.Base.StiLicense.Key = " at the start, "; at the end, " + and line breaks on each line.
You should end up with one long line that is your license key.

Configuring the license key for Neos

Create a new environment variable in the system properties.

  • Variable name : Reporting:StimulsoftLicenceKey (NOTE: spelled "Licence", not "License")
  • Variable value : Paste your license key here
