Embedded reporting tools online licensing overview

Starting with the version 2.x , Syncfusion^® introduced a new licensing system for the Bold Reports^®. You have to include the license token in your projects in order to use the Bold Reports^® assemblies. Note that the license token is different from the setup unlock key and that needs to be generated separately from the Bold Reports^® website. The below licensing error will be displayed if the license token is missing in your projects.

This application was built using a trial version of Bold Reports^®. Please include a valid license to permanently remove this license validation message. You can also obtain a free 30 day evaluation license to temporarily remove this message during the evaluation period.
