Activating Scichart

Activating SciChart v3.2 – v5.x 

Note: This article refers to SciChart WPF v3.2 to 5.x. For SciChart WPF v6, please see the updated SciChart WPF Licensing v6.x page

Step 1: Activate the SciChart Developer License

To activate your developer license for SciChart, please use the SciChart Licensing Wizard.

1. Windows Start Menu -> Type SciChart Licensing Wizard -> Start the wizard
2. Select ‘I would like to Activate a License Via the Internet’
3. Enter your www.scichart.com Username (not email), Password and Serial Key. Serials can be found at www.scichart.com/profile or in your LicenseCertificate Email.
4. Click ‘Activate’ to claim your license

Step 2: Include Runtime License

Include your Runtime License* in C# code. This is required if you want to redistribute your SciChart application to other (non-activated) computers.

You need to call SciChartSurface.SetRuntimeLicenseKey() before any SciChartSurface is instantiated and only once. The best place to include the Runtime License is in the constructor of App.xaml.cs, e.g

    /// <summary>
    /// Interaction logic for App.xaml
    /// </summary>
    public partial class App : Application
    {
        public App()
        {
            // Ensure SetLicenseKey is called once, before any SciChartSurface instance is created 
            // Check this code into your version-control and it will enable SciChart 
            // for end-users of your application. 
            // 
            // You can test the Runtime Key is installed correctly by Running your application 
            // OUTSIDE Of Visual Studio (no debugger attached). Trial watermarks should be removed. 
            SciChartSurface.SetRuntimeLicenseKey(@"<LicenseContract>
              <Customer>My Company</Customer>
              <OrderId>123-456</OrderId>
              <LicenseCount>1</LicenseCount>
              <IsTrialLicense>false</IsTrialLicense>
              <SupportExpires>07/06/2013 00:00:00</SupportExpires>
              <KeyCode>ABCDEFG</KeyCode>
            </LicenseContract>");
        }
    }

Your Runtime key is found in your License Certificate email and also NEW!! Online at www.scichart.com/profile. If you cannot find either, please contact-us!
