Getting Started with SCICHART iOS v3+ and macOS v4

In previous versions of SciChart iOS, you could download the framework from Cocoapods or our website and it would ‘just work’ for 30 days. With the release of SciChart iOS v3 we have introduced a new cross-platform licensing mechanism which is common to all our platforms.

1. Download the Licensing Wizard

To get started, download and install the SciChart Cross Platform Licensing Wizard to your Mac Desktop.

2. Log in

Next log in using your SciChart.com username and password (Create one).

3. Start a Trial

Click ‘Start Trial’ on the Trials page for iOS and or macOS.

4. Apply a trial Key

Apply the trial to your application by viewing the KeyCode on the Licensing Wizard. Be careful and use iOS one for iOS trial and macOS one for Mac.

The KeyCode must be set in your app once, and once only before any SciChartSurface instance is shown.

Do this by calling the static SciChartSurface.SetRuntimeLicenseKey() method in AppDelegate.

Code samples below:

func application(_ application: UIApplication, didFinishLaunchingWithOptions launchOptions: [UIApplicationLaunchOptionsKey: Any]?) -> Bool {
    // Note! This is just an example. 
    // The real License KeyCode is found by following steps above
    SCIChartSurface.setRuntimeLicenseKey("YOUR_KEYCODE")

    return true
 }

- (BOOL)application:(UIApplication *)application didFinishLaunchingWithOptions:(NSDictionary *)launchOptions {
    // Note! This is just an example. 
    // The real License KeyCode is found by following steps above
    [SCIChartSurface setRuntimeLicenseKey:@"YOUR_KEYCODE"];

    return YES;
}

public override bool FinishedLaunching(UIApplication application, NSDictionary launchOptions)
{
    // Note! This is just an example. 
    // The real License KeyCode is found by following steps above
    SciChart.iOS.Charting.SCIChartSurface.SetRuntimeLicenseKey("YOUR_KEYCODE");

    return true;
}

override init() {
    // Note! This is just an example. 
    // The real License KeyCode is found by following steps above
    SCIChartSurface.setRuntimeLicenseKey("YOUR_KEYCODE")
}

+ (void)initialize {
    if (self == AppDelegate.class) {
        // Note! This is just an example. 
        // The real License KeyCode is found by following steps above
        [SCIChartSurface setRuntimeLicenseKey:@"YOUR_KEYCODE"];
    }
}

Take a moment to start a trial now, so that you can get working as soon as possible.

Note, if you have purchased a paid license, then head over to Licensing SciChart iOS&macOS to learn how to activate and use it.
