Licensing

Register a license

You have 30 days free trial. For a long term use, you need to buy a license (See pricing). Then, we will send you a license key and you will just have to specify it with your company name with the static method RegisterLicense() of class UR.

A InvalidLicenseException exception will be thrown when connecting to the robot with the reason.

You can get full information about current license with the static property LicenseInfo of class UR.

UR.RegisterLicense("YourCompanyName", "YOUR_LICENSE_KEY");
LicenseInfo myLicenseInfo = UR.LicenseInfo;
// Number of trial days remaining
var evaluationDaysLeft = myLicenseInfo.EvaluationDaysLeft;
bool licenseValid = myLicenseInfo.State == LicenseState.Licensed;
