To generate the runtime license for applications created in Visual Studio, use GrapeCity License Manager Add-in available in Tools menu in Visual Studio.

However, you can also generate runtime license through C1 website:
- Create a License.cs in your project (by right-clicking the Project Name in Solution Explorer and selecting Add New | Class).
- Add the license key generated on C1 website in this class.
- From the Solution Explorer, open Startup.cs file and assign the key to it (For more information on how to add license key to the project, see Licensing).
